Frequently Asked Questions
Student Leader Training Summit
How will my student get to and home from camp?
There is no centralized mode of transportation. Ultimately, Ventura County and Santa Clarita students are responsible to get themselves TO and FROM camp - either via driving themselves, being dropped off by a parent, or carpooling.
If none of these seem like an option, we are happy to help coordinate a ride. You can email Tim Sherreitt @ tsherreitt@fca.org.
What time is drop-off and pick-up?
Student drop off is 4:00-4:45pm on Friday, August 8.
Pick up will be at 11:30am on Sunday, August 10.
What is the address of the Forest Home, Ojai?
655 Burnham Rd, Oak View, CA 93022
What does my student need to bring?
- Bible, Notebook & Pen

- Clothes (play, warm, activity shoes)
- Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, bath towel)
- Swimsuit, sunglasses & towel

Will an adult be in the tent with the students?
FCA does not allow adults to sleep in the same space as the students. That said the adult leaders will be close by and very involved with all that takes place.
Will I be able to call/text my student over the weekend?
Because we want the weekend to be as enriching as possible, we will be taking the students phones when they check in and returning them after the last session on Sunday Morning so they can take pics with each other and be available for you to contact if there is any communication that needs to happen when picking up.
If you need to reach them for any reason during the weekend you can text/call the FCA staff thatt works with them, and they can either relay a message or have your student jump on the phone.
What about allergies & medicatons?
There will be a camp nurse to facilitate the giving out of any medications your student may require and care for any in-the-moment-needs they may have.
