Safety
Young Life and Clearwater Cove maintain the highest level of safety standards in operation of all our activities at camp.
All of Clearwater Cove's challenge course elements (adventure course) are inspected annually by a registered Preferred Vendor Member of The Association of Challenge Course Technology. All elements are operated and supervised by our staff who have been fully trained and certified to do so, ensuring your child's comfort and safety.
Clearwater's waterfront program is also facilitated by trained and experienced lifeguards. Your child will be in good hands while at Clearwater Cove.
In the event of an unexpected accident, there is always a qualified medical professional on call to tend to your child's needs. Also, if needed, the local hospital is only a short drive away.
Accessibility
We welcome kids of all abilities to our camps. At Clearwater Cove, all of our main buildings are accessible to strollers or wheelchairs, and we have a handful of cabins that are designed to be accessible (special housing needs may be requested by your child's trip leader).
Walkways around camp are paved. We will also do our best to help every guest participate in activities. We want every kid to have the best week of their life as they come to camp!

Sign Up for Camp
For summer and weekend camps, all spots are given out to individual Young Life areas and retreat groups. These areas and groups fill their allocated spots with students from their local town. If you are interested in attending camp or finding out how to send your child to Young Life camp, contact your local Young Life office. They might not be attending camp at Clearwater, but they most likely have a trip planned to one of Young Life's other fabulous properties!
