Youth camps or conferences offered by JEMS are
based on a combination of cabin leader and guest
speaker format. What does this mean?
It means we have experienced, qualified Christian
cabin leaders who understand our camp ministry and
love working with the youth. For one whole week,
the cabin leaders each oversee 4 to 7 youths,
separated into boys and girls cabins. A cabin
leader facilitates cabin time activities such as
discussing, sharing experiences, praying, and
scripture learning in order to develop beneficial
disciplines for right living. A cabin leader will
spend time with each assigned youth during the
course of the week to provide appropriate and
individual attention.
We invite proven speakers from the Christian
community to speak on the theme of the conference
for the whole week. At most camps, we have morning
and evening speakers who will bring the bible to
life and address the issues confronting the youth
of today with biblical insight and practical
answers.
The facilities, nestled in the beautiful redwood
trees of the Santa Cruz Mountains, are ideal for
all ages. Clean cabins with bathrooms, are
designed to facilitate fellowship, rest, and small
group interaction. There are large auditoriums for
the keynote sessions, dining rooms, and break-off
meeting rooms. Excellent recreational facilities
are also available where sports equipment is
provided.

Each age level program has a more detailed
schedule that relates to that age group. If you
are interested in knowing the specific details
about a certain group, please contact the JEMS
office for more information.
Our programs are tailored and integrated for each
age group. We believe it is well balanced with
biblical teaching time, music, and worship
experience, and time of reflection and recreation
(both outdoors and indoors).
Note to Parents :::
We want
to assure you that JEMS offers the best possible camping
experience for children, youth, collegians, career young
adults, and families. With over 58 years of camping experience
behind us, we provide a well organized, quality camping
program that is worthy of your investment. Every dollar
spent is more worthwhile money you can invest for your children.
Many children have made life-long friends during
the week at camp. They have also made
life-changing decisions that bring tremendous
dividends for the rest of their lives.
Besides having trained cabin leaders and dedicated
Core Team members who run the camp, we have nurse
and lifeguards at each camp to make sure the
campers are taken care of each day.
Meals are prepared and served right at camp. Snack
shops are open during the free time for
refreshments, t-shirts, and Christian book sales.
We have limited amounts of rules and regulations,
which we expect to be followed. Repeated offenses
will mean that an offender will be sent home at
the expense of the parents.
Testimonies from youth who have attended in the
past definitely attest that the JEMS Mount Hermon
Conference proved to be the best experience they
have ever had while growing up.
