Day 4

Time seems to be flying by. Yesterday was full of surprises I don't want to give away. Let me tell you it was a beautiful day. It was a sight to see 500 kids being kids...dancing, singing, screaming, playing, and laughing. There are so many things we do at YL camp that have a bigger purpose and a why behind it. I love watching students "get it." Many students would say I would never... to jumping off a tower in the trees to grab a trapeze bar, or square dancing the night away. Those experiences break down walls and allow kids to consider more I would nevers as they consider the full life Jesus offers. God is good.

5 C's of Young Life

Club: Club is our once a weekly event that lets kids be kids. We give kids the opportunity to be kids again by singing, dancing, and playing crazy games. Students hear a message from the Bible in terms they can understand. YL club is for everyone, no matter where they stand in their faith.

Contact Work: Where there are high school kids there are YL leaders. We believe in earning the right to be heard by building friendships with kids. We come to their turf, whether that's sporting events standing in the stands beside them or coming up to after school and grabbing a Sonic.

Campaigners: Campaigners are small groups made up of students and a leader committed to sharing their lives, struggles, and joys with one another. Student grow deeper in their faith as they explore the Bible and God's love in a life-changing way.

Camp: Young Life states...."Camp is the best week of your life." That is a proven fact. Kids get the chance to have adventure camping at resort quality facilities and share an unforgettable experience. Kids get to leave their normal routine while they hear about and process the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Church: Young Life is not the church. We desire our students to be a part of local a congregation. If our students are ready to go deeper we strongly encourage them to attend a local church.
