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.
We are so excited to announce that this summer Goochland
will be returning to Saranac Village in Upstate New York! We are looking
forward to kids having the best week of their lives, making lifelong memories
with friends and hearing about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are sure that
this year will be just as unforgettable and life giving as years past, and we
would love for your child to be a part of it.
Here are some details regarding the trip this summer:
WHERE? Saranac Village is located in the beautiful
Adirondack Mountains of New York, with
top‐notch accommodations, unbelievable
food and an atmosphere unlike any other.
WHEN? Camp dates are July 30 ‐ August 7. We will leave from
Goochland High School at 11 p.m. on July 30, and arrive back in Goochland at 2
a.m. on August 7.
WHAT IS THERE TO DO? The waterfront at Saranac has the best
equipment money can buy, complete with two Air Nautique boats, a Ski Nautique,
two commercial parasail boats, and a whole fleet of Hobie Cat sailboats. That
means while at Saranac you can tube, wakeboard, water ski, parasail, sail, hang
out at the floating dock and enjoy the water slide and other water activities
such as paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing. All of this can be enjoyed on
the clear mountain waters of Upper Saranac Lake. And, there is just as much, if
not more, to do on land: the ropes course, indoor and outdoor basketball
courts, an 18-hole Frisbee golf course, soccer fields and beach volleyball. Or,
if you’re looking for something a little more low‐key, you can visit the game
room, hot tub, brand new craft shack, the camp store or hang out in the
hammocks on the beach.
HOW MUCH? $850. You can save a spot by turning in your $200
NON- REFUNDABLE deposit with your camp form. (The deposit is refundable up to
April 27th.) There are a limited number of spots, so please turn in your camp
form and deposit ASAP!

financial help will be available. Please ask a Young Life leader for more
