WFR hIGH school winter camp:December 6-8, 2024
We’re headed back to Canyon for our annual WFR Winter camps! We have two separate events planned for this year and we’re excited to host your high school students for their own awesome Winter Camp event! Our High school event will take place December 6-8, 2024. There is no minimum for your group to attend! Just grab your leader and sign up for a weekend away to grow closer in your relationship with God. Many of our church partners regularly attend – but we are open to any youth group or ministry that would like to join us as well. You can also sign up a group through our registration link. This event is intended to be inclusive denominationally and has historically provided a little Young Life flair to the experience. See our promo video at the bottom of our event page.
No deposit required to register– each event is $180 per person for students and leaders. Registration closes November 22nd.
Our Camp Speaker for this upcoming event is Kent Williams! Kent trusted Jesus as his Savior as an 8-year-old in Imperial Beach, CA, yet not until high school did he truly begin to understand Jesus Christ was to be the Lord of his life. It was through relationships formed with the Young Life Staff & volunteer leaders in Silverdale, WA that he came to grow his relationship with Jesus in a real way.
After volunteering for years, he joined the staff of Young Life Seattle and served in the Jet City for six years. He and his lovely bride, Janie, answered God’s call to Clackamas, just southeast of Portland, Oregon and served as Area Director there for 11 years. Kent transitioned into the position of Special Assistant to the President (now Senior Mission Specialist) where he is able to maximize his gifts of serving leaders and kids via the mission of Young Life.
Work & Worship:April 4-6, 2025
Join us for a weekend of fellowship, discipleship and volunteer projects. Families welcome with attendees 14 years of age and up. Housing is dormitory-style by gender. Work & Worship weekend is a chance to lend camp a hand as we get the property and facilities ready for spring camping. Projects may be determined by participant skill level and by the weekend's weather. Please indicate on your registration if you have specific skills or job interest areas.
Registration is a suggested $40 per person.
Can I bring my kids/Church youth group?
Due to the nature of the weekend, we are unable to accommodate children under the age of 14. For youth groups, youth must be 14 and older. Youth groups must have a minimum of 1 chaperone for every 5 youth of the same gender for project breakdown purposes.
The registration link will be posted here after the New Year!
