YOUNG LEADERS CAMP 2022

Our mission is to cultivate meaningful experiences for God’s people to be rooted and grow.

YLC 2022 vision

Identity, belonging, and purpose have always been BIG topics for growing teenagers in their life stage and development. Questions like “Who am I?”, “Where do I fit in”, and “Do I matter?” give many opportunities for us as a church family to walk alongside your middle schooler during these ever-changing times. The answers to these BIG questions shape who they are for years to come, and we seek to provide biblically sound answers that can be relevant tools for them as they face various ups and downs in life.

We continue to pray for YLC to be a space filled with opportunities to encourage, equip, empower, and engage our young people through conversations, team-building activities, and testimonies to remember the hope that we were given by our Lord Jesus Christ. We can’t wait for your teenagers to discover the practical ways that following Jesus helps answer life’s biggest questions!

Youth Disciple Groups

Youth Disciple Groups (YDG) are when YLC counselors intentionally cultivate time to check-in and go deeper with the YLC campers in designated groups. This is a time when we will discover more about who Jesus is and who he has made us to be. Beyond just listening, real and practical learning dives deeper and encourages interaction, questions, and struggle with what’s being taught. During this time, YDGs will create space to talk about how what we’re learning can be incorporated in our day-to-day lives. By sharing and listening to one another, we are able to rediscover deeper friendship and community. No one should struggle alone, and together, we can discover everlasting hope as we continue to learn more about who our Almighty God is!

Resilience Building

Our goal is to empower students to build resilience as they face various challenges in life. We know that it is difficult to bounce back from trials, but nothing is impossible with our God! We will discover more of how we can build resilience in our character, in a communal environment, and in situations where we are called to be young leaders through exploring the hope that has been given to us by our God in His Word!

Community Building

Community matters! We will do this by spending time together through fellowship, serving one another, and engaging in challenging team-building activities. We will cultivate an environment where YLC campers will be able to develop and discover what it means to live in togetherness again.

Curriculum — The Big Questions

The Big Questions is a four-part series designed to help your middle schooler find answers to their big questions about faith, identity, belonging, and purpose in Jesus. As our world opens up once again, everyone is looking to maximize opportunities and gain new perspectives in life. While your kid may not be outwardly asking questions about who they are, where they fit in, or what they’re made for in this world, they’re most definitely considering these things internally in this phase. This series will give them the foundation to build their sense of identity, purpose, and belonging as they grow and mature in faith.

Young Leaders Conference

The Young Leaders Conference is a 4-day, 3-night offsite retreat at Alliance Redwoods Conference Grounds that challenges our young leaders to grow in faith, leadership, and in community. We will be engaging in team-building activities, hiking, worship, small group discussions, and interactive messages that inspire growth. This conference retreat will be held on the 3rd and last week of YLC from June 21st to June 24th.

More detailed information will be provided at our YLC Family Welcome Event on Saturday, 5/21/2022.

Health & Safety

During YLC 2022, we will be providing weekly onsite testing for all staff and campers. The testing dates will be emailed to parents ahead of time and sign-ups will be required. Test results will be emailed to the registered email and also shared with LCHS SDC.

We encourage everyone to be fully vaccinated as vaccines are now eligible for youth ages 5 and up. It is crucial that you and your family adhere to these guidelines and restrictions in order to keep campers and staff safe.
