Camping is a distinctive experience in each of the countries where Young Life is reaching kids. While campers in the United States attend one of Young Life’s camps scattered across America, for most international kids, there is no Young Life facility nearby. So their leaders create for them the Young Life camping experience in a variety of venues, with some unique twists. International kids swim, ski, ride horses, go rock climbing and play games, but they also kayak in the North Sea and hike through the mountains in southern Russia.
Though the activities and facilities vary from country to country, the basic Young Life camping principles remain the same. Kids have fun, hang out with friends and listen to leaders who have earned the right to be heard tell them the incredible news that God loves them with a heart as big as the universe. Whether kids spend a week in the craggy mountains of coastal Scotland or play in the surf on a sunny beach in Costa Rica, Young Life makes kids around the globe the same promise it makes to kids in the United States: the week you spend at Young Life camp will be the best week of your life.
