Fundraising
We never want money to be a reason a student can't attend camp. Below are the current fundraisers we have running.
Car Wash Tickets
Students can sell Brown Bear Car Wash tickets to raise money for camp. Buy tickets directly from a student or order online here! Every ticket is good for one Beary Clean Car Wash, valid at any Tunnel Location throughout Puget Sound.
Single ticket: $12 (camper earns $9.50 per single ticket)
5-pack tickets: $50 (camper earns $37.50 per 5-pack)
2nd & 3rd Timer Policy
The "Why" Behind the Policy
As a ministry, our mission statement is to "introduce kids to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith." We are committed to ensuring that every kid has an opportunity to know who Jesus is and respond to His invitation to put their faith in Him (however, we understand that not every kid will, and they are still welcome to participate in Young Life activities). Because camp spots are limited and we are committed to our mission, we have created the 2nd and 3rd timer policy.
Kids who would be considered a 2nd or 3rd timer also have other options in lieu of or in addition to a traditional summer camp with Young Life. Some of those options include Work Crew (a month-long service and discipleship opportunity at a Young Life Camp for high school sophomores through just-graduated seniors), Discipleship Weekend over Memorial Day (an opportunity to dive deeper than they would at summer camp in their understanding of a relationship with Jesus) or Adventure Camping (Beyond Malibu, Santa Cruz, or a Mission Trip). Adventure Camping is organized by leaders and a group of interested kids with support from the Young Life office. Typically, there would need to be 5-6 kids + a leader to make this happen, minimum.
Second and Third Timer Policy
High School campers who have been to YL camp as a sophomore or junior once before are considered "Second Timers" under the Young Life second timer policy. Second timers to our Senior High camping trip will be immediately placed on a waitlist until they have 1 friends from the school they attend recruited to camp who have not previously attended a Senior High YL camp.
High School campers who have been to YL camp as a sophomore or junior twice before are considered "Third Timers" under the Young Life third timer policy. Third timers to our Senior High camping trip will be immediately placed on a waitlist until they have 2 friends from the school they attend recruited to camp who have not previously attended a Senior High YL camp.
Deposits will be refunded to the 2nd and 3rd timers who do not make it off the waitlist.
There are no exceptions to this policy.
