Phase ll

Club Room

In the next 50 years, over 600,000 kids will hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in the sacred space that we call the Club Room.

Pool and Lazy River

The pool and lazy river was intentionally designed as a place of belonging for ALL kids. Imagine a Capernaum friend or a teen mom and her baby floating the lazy river alongside their peers. This speaks the gospel message of "you are included ... you are welcomed ... come home."

Dining Hall

Young Life's unique dining experience allows for laugher, honest conversation and living out the gospel together as a family.

Camp Development Principles

After construction is complete, Young Life camps are financially self-sufficient. All operational expenses, maintenance, administrative costs and funded depreciation are paid from camp revenue generated by the camper fee. Only major capital projects require fundraising after the initial purchase or construction. We only grow as thoughtful and generous gifts allow.

Young Life camps have a long-standing policy to first raise the funds and then to develop new projects, facilities and amenities. This is so the camp fee that summer and school season guests pay is minimized to reflect true operating costs. This practice also allows us to develop new projects to a standard of excellence.
