The United Youth Camp Program is not trying to take the place of the family, but rather to help strengthen the family core. Our youth have great opportunities that our God has made available them, their parents and the staff who willingly serve at these camps. The ultimate opportunity for our youth is to be a member of God's eternal family, if they full commit to His way of life.
