HUME LAKE POLICIES FOR CABIN RENTALS
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: The consumption of alcoholic beverages (i.e. beer, wine, liquors, etc.) is prohibited on the conference center grounds.
ARK: Use of the Meadow Ranch Ark is reserved for registered guests, conferees, leaseholders and staff. During the summer the Ark is open for basketball, Ping-Pong, foosball and in-line skating Sunday 3:00-5:00 pm and Monday through Friday 1:30-5:00 pm. It is closed on Saturday. These hours are subject to change due to the Meadow Ranch program schedule. For non-summer hours, please check with the Administration Office.
CABIN RENTAL FEES: All rates include an 8% Hume Lake Christian Camps cabin-user fee paid by the leaseholder. The user fee will be used to help defer administrative costs.
