Welcome!

Welcome to the YoungLives Lake Champion Prayer Blog!

You may be asking, what exactly is YoungLives? What is Lake Champion? Why do these things need prayer? And why blog about it?

YoungLives is an extension of the ministry of Young Life, a non-profit Christian organization dedicated to reaching teens for Christ. YoungLives is a ministry of Young Life especially for teen moms and their babies. Through traditional Young Life activities like club, camp and Campaigners, YoungLives mentors come alongside young women in a way we believe Jesus would do: with compassion, support and hope.

YoungLives teams up with mature Christian women to provide teen girls with timely encouragement, guidance and ongoing support. These caring women model Jesus Christ’s love by investing time and walking alongside them through their life situations.

Teen moms can attend a YoungLives camp with their children at one of Young Life’s camps. Set in beautiful surroundings and packed with adventure, young moms are given the opportunity to experience all the fun their peers do. From the pool and zip line to the ropes course and the pamper pole, there is no shortage of excitement. During camp, the young women get a break from their everyday schedules — thanks to childcare volunteers who look after their children. Teen moms get the chance to relax, play and learn about God and His plan for their lives.

This year, 200 teen moms and their babies will arrive at Young Life's Lake Champion in Glen Spey, New York, for the best week of their lives. Clearly, a week of summer camp for teens takes a lot planning and organization. Add babies to the mix and mayhem could ensue, if not for an incredible team of staff members and volunteers who spend months preparing for this week. Join us as we journey with the Lord to ensure that every detail is lovingly thought through and prepared for these wonderful young women and beautiful babies.
