Summer and Winter Camp
We believe in going to camp! Camp is a great place for students to step away from their busy lives at home and grow in their relationships with God. Camp also serves to foster closer relationships - between students, between leaders and students, and in bringing in students who have not yet been involved in a church.
SBCC Youth Ministries go to Forest Home for a weekend in the winter, and a week in the summer. We've been going to Forest Home as a church since 1995. We LOVE it there!

CAMP FAQ'S
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Why does SBCC take students to Forest Home?
We are blessed in Southern California to have many Christian camp options. We selected Forest Home for several reasons:
1. Its camping philosophy of allowing us to use our own leaders as camp counselors. Many other camps require students to be counseled by their own staff counselors, who will not see our students again after the week of camp.
2. Its close proximity to Santa Barbara (in comparison to other Christian camps).
3. Its long-term, proven commitment to solid Bible teaching.
4. Its cost.
5. Its size – the average size of summer camp is usually no more than 250. This allows the students to get to know the camp staff better, and allows students to interact with other campers.
Who goes to camp with SBCC?
SBCC subsidizes the cost of each camper in that the church pays for each counselor and for the charter buses used to transport our groups to camp. While we are thankful to bring along any friends of our students who are not currently connected to a youth group (and therefore need to get involved!), we are not able to bring students from other youth groups. We strongly encourage members of other churches to ask their own youth ministries to plan trips to Forest Home.
How do I know which summer camp my student will go to?
Students go to camp according the grade they will be in for the fall. For example, current sixth graders sign up for junior high camp. A current 3rd grader will go to Indian Village.
How do I register my student for camp?
To go to Forest Home with SBCC, you will need to contact our camp registrar, Karen McLean. Her number is 967-0461, her email is karen@sbcommunity.org.
