Transforming the Next Generation and Beyond
"4 We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders. 5 For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, 6 so the next generation might know them—even the children not yet born—and they in turn will teach their own children." — Psalm 78:4-6, NLT
The Vision, Mission and 2025 Goal
The vision is transforming the next generation: today, tomorrow and forever. The mission is to introduce kids to Jesus Christ, help them grow in their faith and develop them into the next generation of leaders. Our 2025 goal is to maximize the impact of Clearwater Cove from 7,000 campers and leaders in 2020 to 16,000 campers and leaders in 2025.
Expected Outcome
For each decade that follows, 160,000 campers and leaders will experience the good news of the gospel, and will participate together in discipleship opportunities

Clearwater Cove Assigned Team Housing and Gym Registry
Clearwater cove is growing! Our new Assigned Team Housing building is nearing the end of completion and our indoor Gym construction has just begun. Both building are set to be finished by Summer 2023! This is a registry to give you an opportunity to help furnish these exciting projects! This registry will be available between now and January 15th!

Camp Development Principles
After construction is complete, Young Life camps are financially self-sufficient. All operational expenses, maintenance, administrative costs and funded depreciation are paid from camp revenue generated by the camper fee. Only major capital projects require fundraising after the initial purchase or construction. We only grow as thoughtful and generous gifts allow.
Young Life camps have a long-standing policy to first raise the funds and then to develop new projects, facilities and amenities. This is so the camp fee that summer and school season guests pay is minimized to reflect true operating costs. This practice also allows us to develop new projects to a standard of excellence.
