Forest Home

Forest Home is a Christ-centered camp and retreat center that has been transforming lives since 1938. Located in the mountains of Southern California, in Forest Falls, with an additional campus in Ojai Valley, Forest Home offers a sanctuary where families, youth, and ministries can step away from the noise of daily life to encounter Jesus and experience genuine spiritual transformation.

For over 85 years, Forest Home has served as California's premier destination for Christian family camps, youth camps, retreats, and discipleship programs. The organization operates five unique camp centers: Forest Center, Lakeview, Creekside, Wild Rock, and Ojai Valley. Each location offers exceptional lodging, delicious meals, versatile meeting spaces, and exciting recreation activities. Forest Home's programming includes all-inclusive family camps, summer and winter camps for middle school, high school, and elementary students, group retreats, gap year programs, and specialized discipleship experiences like the Radiant program for young women.

The mission of Forest Home centers on three core pillars: Encounter Jesus, Experience Transformation, and Engage the World. Through powerful worship, relevant teaching, small group communities, and epic recreation, Forest Home creates an environment where thousands of guests annually make life-changing decisions and deepen their faith. The organization has become a movement of God that has seen revival spread throughout Southern California and beyond, with a rich history documented in thousands of personal testimonies written in their chapel books.
