Goochland is going to Saranac!



You may have heard your high school student talking about Young Life summer camp. We’d love to have them on the trip with us, so we wanted to share details directly with you and answer any questions you have.

WHERE?  Saranac Village is located in the beautiful Adirondack Mountain of New York. It's got top‐notch accommodations, unbelievable food and an atmosphere kids don’t want to leave. Some people say a trip to Saranac Village was the best week of their life!

WHEN? Camp dates are June 27 ‐ July 5. The chartered bus will leave from Goochland High School at 11 p.m., Saturday June 27, and arrive back in Goochland at 2 a.m. on 
Sunday July 5.

WHAT IS THERE TO DO? The waterfront at Saranac has ski boats and sailboats so kids can enjoy lots of water activities – they can tube, wakeboard, parasail, hang out at the floating dock and try out the water slide. There’s just as much to do on land: the ropes course, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, an 18 hole Frisbee golf course, soccer fields and volleyball. For something a little more low‐key, there’s a game room, a craft shack and hammocks on the beach.  See it for yourself in this YouTube video!

HOW MUCH? $765 (this is a NEW and LOWER cost!)  You can save a spot for your student by turning in a $200 NON- REFUNDABLE deposit with a camp form. There are a limited number of spots, so please turn in your camp form and deposit ASAP.  

FUNDRAISING?  Your student can take advantage of opportunities to raise money toward their camp costs. Information about specific fundraisers will be communicated with students, and we’ll post upcoming events to our blog as well.

NEXT STEPS? You can save a spot for your student by using the printed form your student received or click here to use the online form.

Checks need to be made out to “Young Life.” You can mail checks and forms to Goochland Young Life at PO Box 1221, Goochland VA 23063. Your student can also give checks and forms to any Young Life Leader.
