Winter Young Life Camp

And Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Winter Young Life Camp was celebrated this year on the YBGR campus over the second weekend of March. Daytime hours were filled with activities like rolling down the Chapel hill in giant hamster balls, sumo suit wrestling, carnival-style games in the Dining Hall, and more, while evenings were reserved for discussions around “Who is Jesus?” and “Why does Jesus care about me?”

All Spiritual Life Programs at YBGR are voluntary, and 68 of the 72 residential youth chose to participate in at least one of the Camp’s activities. Young Life Camp is a “mountain-top experience” that is celebrated only twice a year, but the camps often serve as an introduction to other SLP activities like weekly Chapel services, bi-monthly Young Life Club, and one-on-one counseling sessions.

Sumo Suits were a big hit!
