What Is Young Life?
Young Life is a youth outreach ministry for adolescents.  Our staff and volunteers enter the world of kids and focus on what matters to them.  In doing so we earn the privilege of talking with that about what we believe matters most  of all - the truth about God and His love for each of us.  

Here in Kane County we have four distinct ministries.  Our Young Life club to high school students in Geneva and St. Charles, our WyldLife club for middle schoolers, our Capernaum club for teens with disabilities, and a Young Life club to incarcerated teens at the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles.  Please visit our website for more information on Young Life locally.

About Camp
Kids consistently tell us that Young Life camp is the best week of their life. That’s a rousing (and unsolicited) endorsement! But how else would you describe a week where deep relationships are forged in the midst of mind-boggling fun and where you experience and listen to what we believe is the greatest love story ever told? 

Camp is a week long trip to one of Young Life's properties across the country.  This summer high schoolers from Kane County will be attending a camp called Crooked Creek in Colorado and middle schoolers will attend Clear Water Cove in MO.
