Friends

"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24, New International Version).

True friends are indispensable, and the Bible has volumes to say on the subject—including how to know when you've found one and how to be one yourself.

When campers first arrive at camp it can be difficult to trust that the Zone is a safe environment, when they are used to the harsh conditions of the world they grow up in. The UYC staff creates a positive, supportive camp atmosphere. As campers accept it they also adopt the supportive attitude, which helps create the Zone at camp and in their home lives when they return.
