About Young Life Camping:
Young Life summer camp is an experience that we guarantee will be one of the best weeks of your life. Young Life camping involves high adventure, lots of fun, great food, and excellent speakers who understand and respect high school kids. At Young Life camp, kids enjoy resort-quality facilities for which Young Life has become known for. As Young Life's worldwide outreach continues to grow, our camping program is also expanding, with Young Life-owned or leased camps in several international locations. Regardless of the facility, the experience is the same — kids getting away from the pressures of everyday life, having fun with friends and their Young Life leaders, and hearing the message of God's love in terms they can understand. We believe that those going on this trip will experience one of the best weeks of their lives. We will be safely transported on professionally driven Greyhound-type highway buses. As we approach the date of our trip, you will receive more information via email, including exact send-off, arrival times, location, and what to pack.
Who will be there?
Lebanon and Deer Park Young Life students and leaders will enjoy camp with other students and leaders from high schools around the country.
What does the cost include?
The cost for summer camp includes the charter bus transportation, lodging, meals, and all recreation activities. Students will need a little money for meal stops on the way to and from camp. Extra money is only needed at camp if your student wants to buy snacks between meals at the snack bar or if they'd like to purchase anything in the camp store.
Are there fundraising opportunities?
Students, are you interested in fundraising for your trip? You can create a YL Summer Camp Fundraising page to share with friends, family, and neighbors, where any money you raise will be subtracted from your final camp fee. Any extra money raised above the camp fee will be given to a general scholarship.
What is the phone policy?
We will be collecting phones when students get off the bus. We believe disconnecting from our devices helps enhance our overall experience with each other and God as it minimizes distractions. We will provide a phone number you can call to contact camp property staff in case of an emergency. Students can use camp phones to call home and check in if they want. Regarding pictures, we have a videographer who will take and share videos with everyone who attends. Leaders and campers are encouraged to bring cameras and share photos once we return.
Who will be the Young Life leaders on the trip?
All of the leaders on the trip will be Lebanon and Deer Park leaders, most of whom volunteer already at Lebanon and Deer Park. Each volunteer is background-checked and enrolled in a continuous weekly training program led by Young Life staff.
