Combined Jr. High/High School Winter Camp for 7th-12th-grade students

Hartland's winter camps offer a high-quality, spiritually focused experience at a very affordable price.
In a culture shouting to focus on yourself, believe in yourself, get plenty of "me time," and pursue happiness above all else, the timeless echo of the Bible emerges. It reminds us that life's purpose surpasses self-indulgence; it's a canvas to reflect the divine. God created us for one primary purpose: to glorify Him. "Thus says the Lord, 'Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory'" (Isa. 43:6–7). Life is wasted when we focus on ourselves instead of living for the glory of God, not just in the big things but in every area of our lives, even routine things like eating and drinking. "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31). So let's take some time this winter to "fix our eyes on Jesus" (Hebrews 12:2) and a lot less time focusing on ourselves.

DRESS CODE
We have the unique opportunity to create a setting that fosters spiritual, relational, and personal growth. Your dress can help or hinder that goal so please be modest. While this list does not include every imaginable article of clothing or fashion trend, here are some guidelines to help you keep everyone's best interests in mind.
Tops end where bottoms begin. Your midriff belongs behind one or the other.
Underwear belongs UNDER your other clothes. Don't go showing it off.
Sleepwear is for sleeping in. Please don't wear your jammies around camp.
Yoga pants are for doing yoga in. Save the tight-fitting pants/shorts for the gym back home or cover them with a long shirt.
And as ironic as it may sound, the longer the shorts the better. At least fingertip length, please.
That about “covers” it - please do likewise (pun intended).
PARENTS
Hartland is very isolated and there are no gasoline stations nearby. Make sure you fill up before you come up the mountain. If you are coming through Visalia, the last place to buy gas is in Lemon Cove. If you are coming from the North, the last place will be in Fresno.
It is our desire to provide a fun, yet safe, environment for each camper. In order to accomplish this, a Registered Nurse is on-site and available 24-hours-a-day to assist with medical emergencies, first-aid, and administration of medications. Please ensure that medical forms are filled out completely. All campers' medications must be in their original containers, labeled with name and clear instructions.
Medications should then be placed in one labeled zip-lock bag per individual. These bags are to be turned in to the nurse upon check-in.
Please feel free to download the resources below for use in promoting this event at your church. High quality printed 11 x 17 posters can be sent to you upon request. Please email info@hartlandcamp.com to request printed posters.
Promo Packet includes videos, logos, posters, bulletin inserts, flyers, packing list, and more.
