Assignment #6

Look up a camp that is associated with the CCI and give a good description of the camp.

Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It starts with adults concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don’t happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency.
So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids around the world — where they are, as they are. Leaders faithfully attend football practices in the Minneapolis suburbs, mingle with teenagers at a mall in Stockholm and play pick-up soccer with former child-soldiers in Liberia. We listen to their stories and learn what’s important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks. 
We believe in the power of presence. Kids’ lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God’s love with them. Because their leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose.
This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God’s love for them, will impact future decisions … careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised. All ripples from the time when a Young Life leader reached out and entered their world.
Everyone is welcome in Young Life! Our programs are custom made for kids throughout their adolescent years. Young Life is the name of our organization and is also the term we use for our program with high school students. We call our middle school program WyldLife. The initiative for college and university students is called Young Life College. 
Young Life’s multicultural ministry, focused on kids in diverse cultural communities and those in economically-depressed areas, is arguably the largest of its kind in the United States. We refer to our ministry to kids with disabilities as Capernaum and to our work with teen moms as YoungLives. In a partnership with Military Community Youth Ministries, Young Life reaches military teens through a program called Club Beyond. The Small Towns initiative brings Young Life to communities of fewer than 25,000 people.

Incorporated on October 16, 1941, Young Life now reaches more than one million kids each year.  Lost Canyon, owned and operated by Young Life, is located  at 7000 feet in beautiful northern Arizona just 30 miles west of Flagstaff. In the summer season Young Life campers will experience nothing less than “the best week of their lives!” From Labor Day to Memorial Day, Young Life and non-Young Life groups are invited to experience the first-class facilities and warm hospitality that all of our guests here at Lost Canyon receive.

For more than 60 years, Young Life has set the standard by building state-of-the-art, comfortable and well-designed facilities that reflect God's glorious creation. We offer outstanding lodging, amenities and personalized service at competitive and affordable rates for groups of up to 500 guests. We desire to share this beautiful resort property and serve your non-profit organization.

Lost Canyon has eight buildings for your group to enjoy.  The dining hall, recreation center, camper dorms, club room, goldmine, main street, stone house coffee, and the gym are all open for those visiting the camp. 

During the summer they have weeks at Young Life’s Lost Canyon in the beautiful Arizona high country with over 400 other high school or junior high students is sure to be an experience you will not soon forget. With top-notch accommodations, unbelievable food and an atmosphere you won't want to leave, your trip to Lost Canyon is sure to be the best week of your life.  The children experience a large array of activities like rope courses, the heist, pool and spa, zip line, the blob, mountain biking, basketball, sand volleyball, soccer, football, and a gym.  

Looking over this program is very exciting to me because it is getting the children excited to be outdoors and know about the Lord.    This camp is located in Williams Arizona.
