Young Life College - Cleveland State Spring Break Weekend


Last weekend our Young Life College team took 15 of our friends on a spring break retreat. It was a weekend filled with fun, laughter, big cookies (a favorite dessert for all of you who have been to a YL summer camp), and meaningful conversations.

We had four Bible studies throughout the weekend that walked chapter-by-chapter through the book of Philippian, and for some of our friends, it was their first time reading through an entire book of the Bible! While resting from school was a welcomed experience, I’m confident some kids started to learn to find rest for their souls (Matthew 11: 29), which only Jesus can offer.


An atypical, cold, adventurous Spring Break trip with the college community.

Young Life Committee, Leaders, and Friends Celebrate Christmas

Young Life feels like a party every week as kids gather for clubs, fall weekend, and Campaigners.  Christmas time – that’s the time when December starts that is like a party every day!  In Young Life, we step up our celebrations and it’s amazing. This year 50+ leaders and committee packed into a house and had the "party to end all parties."  We ate together, prayed together, and of course opened gifts together.  Of course, we played our usual Christmas game…except we changed it up this year and made it even more fun!  We shortened the time and doubled the fun, and it was so great.

And to quote Cousin Eddy in Christmas Vacation- “and they're the gift that keeps on giving all year round.” Thanks and Merry Chri...

Ministry Highlight: YL Capernaum

We are finally catching up after our final camp trip of the summer! Our campers in Young Life Capernaum (our ministry for students with disabilities) experienced a week of God's unconditional love for them while enjoying everything the camp's beautiful property has to offer. Campers got to experience a taste of abundant life through camp activities each day, including a Disney themed day, pool party, talent show, and so many more fun events. Each morning the whole camp got to experience a club specifically catered to Capernaum students with songs, games and an incredible camp speaker. During the week, everyone at camp got the opportunity to memorize John 3: 16. It says, "F or God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Throughout the week, the leaders and buddies had time to process what this scripture meant to the campers. During one cabin time, the campers h...
