Camp Development

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.

Blue Ridge is completed!!

For as long as I can remember, the staff at Windy Gap have dreamed of having a building especially designed for assigned staff and their families. So it is just an incredible privilege to see this project finally completed! With our new staff housing, families have a comfortable living space conducive to healthy family life. We believe this is a much-needed (and long-awaited) way for us to serve our staff well so that they, in turn, serve kids well.

In Him,

Eddie Evans, Property Manager

Development Fund Raising

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.
