What to Expect

Come join us for a weekend in God’s creation! There will be no official activities—but opportunities for hiking, fishing, mountain biking, kayaking/canoeing (bring your own or rent one), or simply resting in the beauty of the mountains. The campsite is a 1.5 mile hike to Jenks Lake–a popular fishing spot in the area.

We know work and school schedules can be tough—so late arrivals are welcome. But we’d love for everyone to be there for the big group meal on Friday night if possible!

Meals & Drinks

  • Provided: All main meals Thursday evening through Saturday evening, plus coffee and water.
  • On your own: Breakfast Sunday (if you stay the extra night) and any snacks or special drinks you want.
  • Bring: A refillable water bottle and coffee mug.

Packing List

Here are the essentials to bring along:

  • Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad/air mattress
  • Warm clothes (nights get chilly in the mountains)
  • Flashlight or headlamp
  • Refillable water bottle & coffee mug
  • Camp chair
  • Toiletries (toothbrush, etc.)
  • Fishing gear, hiking boots, bike, or kayak/canoe if you want to use them
  • Snacks and drinks for yourself
  • Sunscreen & hat

Optional Extra Night

If you want to stay through Saturday night, you’re welcome! Breakfast Sunday morning will be on your own. But we are asking everyone to head out early enough to be at church in Temecula on Sunday morning. 

Scholarships

If finances are an issue for you, please contact Pastor Christian or Garrett. Especially if you are bringing multiple sons–we know that can add up.
