What YD Camp is All About
Enjoy a variety of activities under a
dazzling blue sky; swim in inviting cool water; and be
rejuvenated by the awe-inspiring scenery.
Join us for a never-to-be-forgotten camp
experience where you’ll pray with your friends, gain a closer
relationship with God, and learn more about how to serve Him,
while enjoying fabulous food, terrific classes, soul-stirring
music, fun activities, inspiring devotionals, and so much more.
Right now is the time to start making
plans to put yourself in the picture for 2010. Too many campers
have been disappointed because they waited too long to apply.
Don’t let that be your sad story. Whether you attend both camps
or come for just one week, you can count on having an
unforgettable, life-changing experience!
Camps will be held on Young Disciple’s
property near Inchelium, Washington.
The Program
Whichever camp or camps you choose, you’ll
enjoy the many recreational choices, YD’s famous "Friendship
Feast," memorable music, and exciting outreach opportunities.
You’ll learn new methods of getting into the Word for yourself,
and find yourself growing in ways you may not have expected—all
while making friends for life and eternity.
Several weeks before the beginning of
camp, all registered campers will be mailed a class descriptions
list and selection sheet.
