Young Life is beginning to establish a presence in this valley.  We have already begun holding "Club" in the north end of the valley.  It is open to all high school age kids, but primarily serves Stevensville, Victor and Florence.  Next fall, we will also add a club in the south end of the valley, geared primarily toward Hamilton, Corvallis and Darby.  Club is for all kids, whether they attend public or private school, or are homeschooled.  For now, we are focusing on the high schools, but in the future, we would like to also start up Wyldlife, for the middle schoolers.

Although it is new here, Young Life is already making a difference in kids' lives. Last summer, we took thirteen Bitterroot kids, plus four adult leaders, to Wildhorse Canyon, a premier Young Life camp in central Oregon.  Kids not only had the week of their lives, as far as pure fun is concerned, but their lives were also touched for eternity.  Kids were blown away that anyone could care that much for them.  Several kids decided to clean up their act, and some even determined to give their lives over to God. 

Young Life works.  Kids get it.
