MORE CAMPING EXPERIENCES OUR CAMP IN TEXAS ADVENTURE CAMPING The mission’s three-year search for a camp property has culminated in a purchase located 90 miles northwest of San Antonio, Texas.

Our new camp in Texas shares many of the qualities and values central to Young Life’s camping program: a beautiful location, creatively imagined and well-constructed facilities, and professional staff. This camp will provide yet another sacred place for kids to encounter Jesus; for kids living in the Lone Star State it’s a necessary alternative to camps located farther away.

Wilderness Ranch, Pioneer Plunge, Beyond Malibu, Young Life Adventures and several other camping programs provide “rite of passage” outdoor adventure experiences around the mission. In the next three years, over 25 U.S. regions will have areas participate in adventure camping for the first time.

CAMP ON WHEELS IN THE U.S.

There are several U.S. communities interested in developing a Camp on Wheels program similar to the model Young Life International has employed over the last several years. This mobile camping approach comes via truck/trailer that delivers kid-friendly games like carnival games, Octoball, inflatable climbing wall, Wii, field hockey, etc.
