Safety
Young Life and Lake Champion maintain the highest level of safety and standards in operation of all of our activities at camp.
All of Lake Champion's challenge course elements (ropes course, climbing wall, giant swing, zip lines) 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.
Lake Champion's mountain bike and waterfront programs are also facilitated by trained and experienced staff. Your child will be in good hands while at Lake Champion.
In the event of an unexpected accident, there is always a qualified and trained medical professional on call to tend to your child's needs. Lake Champion also follows all of Young Life's national safety procedures in the event of an accident, so we are prepared for any scenario.
Accessibility
We welcome kids of all abilities to our camps. At Lake Champion, 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 when 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 Lake Champion, but they most likely have a trip planned to one of Young Life's other fabulous properties!
