Who runs Winter Weekend?

Supervision includes local Young Life leaders who “go through” camp with kids, including staying in the same dormitory, and a property staff of over 30 workers. The overall ratio of supervision to kids is 1:7. Male and female housing is clearly defined, separated, and chaperoned. Student safety and well-being are first priorities.

 

For Parents:  You have high expectations for your children.  You want them to be successful in life and prepared for the challenges they will face in the future.  You want them to become men and women with ideals and definite goals in life.  Through personal relationships, Young Life leaders assist teenagers navigate adolescence.  We are available to serve kids’ needs and present information about the Christian faith in terms they can understand.  Our aim is to provide unconditional support, resources and an atmosphere in which kids can make intelligent decisions for themselves. New to Young Life?
