You can serve for as little as 1 week of camp. If you can join us for 2 weeks or the whole session that is even better!
You have a heart to serve and support Young Life’s mission to introduce teens to Jesus and encourage them in life, and you want to grow in your faith too.

Is this family friendly? It can be. Your kids must be 16+ (some exceptions for experienced 15 year olds) and able and willing to fully volunteer in a role as well.

The focus is on serving well individually but the shared experience can be invaluable!
