At LLYC, we divide our summer camp program into two age-group
camps. We do this so we can gear our program and the message
of Christ to the appropriate developmental stage of each camper.
We strive to honor God by placing people where we feel their
gifts and talents will be used most effectively. Please pray
for us and with us as we make every effort to fill our staffing
needs. There is no guarantee of which camp you will be placed
if hired. However, if you have any preference, please indicate
so with the reason on the application.
Singing Hills (grades 1-6)
Specifically designed for grades 1-6 (ages 7-12), Singing
Hills combines a constant, creative program in a Christ-centered
environment. Campers discover maximum fun and electrifying
adventure through activities, group games, and special events.
One of the great things about being a Singing Hills counselor
is that they are loved because they are there. Campers of
this age look up to and emulate everything they see in their
counselor. Campers are placed in cabins according to grade
so that each child is surrounded by peers with similar maturity
levels and counselors who are acutely aware of the needs of
young campers. All this takes place in a structured, noncompetitive
atmosphere, which encourages each child's creative and industrious
nature, while enhancing their self-esteem and image of God
and Christ.
Echo Valley (grades 6-10)
Maintaining an important balance between spontaneity and structured
programming, Echo Valley is "controlled chaos."
We live on the cutting edge, a place where young people, grades
6-10 (ages 12-16), can enter into a Christ-centered environment
where faith is alive and relationships are genuine. Challenging
activities and creative events produce pure fun and extreme
excitement. There's a method to the madness, as counselors
develop a sense of trust while presenting the Gospel message
of Christ in a nonthreatening manner. Teenagers are free to
"talk about it" as they engage in lively, facilitated
discussions with others in the same boat. They share their
deepest questions, dreams, and anxieties as they tap into
the wisdom of their peers and counselors. Campers often say,
"This is the one place where I can truly open up and
be myself."
