For many students in Richmond, Young Life camp is the turning point—a week away from distractions where they experience authentic community, adventure, and the clear message of the Gospel in a way that sticks.

But for a lot of our kids, cost is the biggest barrier.

Your gift helps send students to camp who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go. It helps cover transportation, camp fees, and scholarships—making sure every kid who wants to go has a seat on the bus.

At camp, students:

• Step out of their normal environment and into a place where they can breathe
• Build deeper friendships with leaders and peers
• Hear about Jesus in a way that’s engaging, personal, and life-changing

Our mission is simple: to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith—and camp is one of the most powerful ways we see that happen.

When you give to Richmond City Young Life, you’re not just supporting a program—you’re sending a kid to camp, creating space for them to encounter hope, truth, and belonging in a way they’ll never forget.

Help us unlock the match and send kids to camp on May 6th!

About Us

Richmond City Young Life doesn’t start with a program—it starts with people. Adults who care enough about teenagers to meet them where they are, on their turf and in the middle of their everyday lives, building bridges of genuine friendship.

These relationships aren’t built overnight. They take time, consistency, and trust.

That’s why our leaders show up again and again—at schools, games, practices, and in the ordinary moments of life. We listen to students’ stories, learn what matters to them, and walk with them through both the highs and the hard things, because we truly care.

We believe presence matters. When caring adults consistently show up, it changes the trajectory of a young person’s life. Through these relationships, students begin to experience God’s love in a real and personal way.

And when a student knows they are seen and valued, it reshapes how they see themselves—their worth, their purpose, and their future.

This is where it begins. The investment made in a student today has a lasting impact—shaping the decisions they make, the relationships they build, and the lives they lead for years to come.
