Serving at Crooked Creek this Summer

Volunteering at a Young Life camp. It's not often in life that we get to evaluate our purpose, map out our future and reflect on our past. As a volunteer on Summer Staff or Work Crew at a Young Life camp, you'll have the chance to grow personally and spiritually -- you'll be surrounded by other people like yourself who really want their life to count for something. We think you'll come away from your experiences at camp better equipped to make choices about your future plans, education and career.

You'll also find yourself refreshed by the hundreds of kids you've impacted during the summer -- kids you've helped have the best week of their lives at a Young Life camp.

While volunteering on Summer Staff or Work Crew, you'll meet people from all over the country, and even from around the world. At the end of the month-long assignment, many of these people will be considered your lifelong friends. You'll have a chance to try new things and to spend a month at one of the most beautiful places on God's earth. You'll also be challenged to take your faith to a new level and learn how to serve like Jesus did thousands of years ago.

Yes, it will be hard work, but there's a big payoff -- changed lives -- yours and the kids you influence.

Check out this video to hear from those who've experienced Summer Staff. Feel free to forward this link to any friends whom you would like to have join you in the experience.
