Ripple Effect

The ripple effect of Clearwater Cove will be far-reaching. Having a
“local camp” builds a sense of belonging — a spirit of community and
ownership that’s long been a hallmark of Young Life. It also means greater
opportunity for weekend camps, discipleship, leadership development, and

staff enrichment.
And in the off-season, Clearwater Cove will offer top-quality meeting and

retreat facilities, adding value to our greater community.
This is our time. Clearwater Cove is about to make a big splash in the

lives of countless kids and in the long tradition of Young Life.

Join us in the adventure!
