FUNDRAISE FOR CAMP

Fundraising faq

Can fundraised money be used to pay the deposit?

Yes! To use fundraised money, select “cash” as the payment method on the online registration form and we will apply fundraised money to the deposit. If full amount isn’t fundraised, we will send you an email with the remaining balance to be paid. Deposit must be paid in full to secure spot.

What happens to fundraised money if a student doesn’t go to camp?

The student can either donate fundraised money to another camper or request that we hold it in their account for one year. If the student doesn’t go to camp the following year, then fundraised money is dispersed to the general campership account. No fundraised money can be refunded per 501c3 requirements.

HIGH SCHOOL CAMP

2ND/3RD TIMER POLICY

THE WHY

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 SECOND/THIRD TIMER policy.

Kids who would be considered a SECOND or THIRD 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 or a mission trip). Adventure Camping is organized by leaders and a group of interested kids with support from the Young Life office.

THE POLICY

High school campers are considered a FIRST TIMER if they have not been to a high school Young Life summer camp OR if they have only attended high school Young Life summer camp as a freshman (if you attended as a freshman, you cannot be counted as somebody's recruit).

High school campers are considered a SECOND TIMER if they have attended a Young Life summer camp as a sophomore or junior during a previous summer. SECOND TIMERS must recruit 1 friend from their school who has never been to high school Young Life summer camp.

THIRD TIMERS have attended high school Young Life summer camp as both a sophomore and junior. THIRD TIMERS must recruit 2 friends from their school who have never been to high school Young Life summer camp.

On the registration page, there will be space for FIRST TIMERS who have never been to a high school Young Life summer camp to enter the student who recruited them and for ​ SECOND/THIRD TIMERS to enter the name(s) of their recruit(s). The names must match on both the FIRST TIMER's registration AND on the SECOND/THIRD TIMER's registration. If the names do not match, the SECOND/THIRD TIMER will not receive approval for that recruit.

SECOND/THIRD TIMERS to our high school camping trip will be immediately placed on a waitlist until the above conditions are met. Deposits will be refunded to SECOND/THIRD TIMERS who do not make it off the waitlist. There are no exceptions to this policy.
