Summer Work Crew

Only For Juniors and Seniors.

Have you ever thought about being a part of the behind the scenes action at a Young Life camp? Ever wanted to travel around the country and put a little 
muscle behind your faith? Well, if you have then Summer Work Crew is for you.
 

What is Work Crew?
Work Crew is a 3-4 week opportunity to live out your faith while living and working at a Young Life camp. You’ll learn what it means to live, work, and play in a community of people following Christ and experience your faith like never before. Plus, it’s a whole load of fun! 

How Much?
Work Crew is FREE for everybody who goes. You just have to find a way to get to the camp property.
 

What is Work Crew Training? 
Work Crew is incredibly fun, but we do take it very seriously. So, we’re going to train you for 4 weeks even before you go. Each session is mandatory. We’ll read a book, have homework, tests, and all other fun things involved with training.  4:00pm—5:00pm on the Sunday afternoons of January 18th, 
January 25th, 
February 1st, 
February 8th at the YL office. Bring:
$10 for the book, a recommendation from your Young Life Leader, pick a time you can go this summer and possible session from the list pictured below, but be flexible.  Finally,  COMPLETE an application. 

Work Crew fills up fast and we need all of these things to get the best spots for all of you. Your application will be emailed to you once your leader has filled out your recommendation.

Crooked Creek: June 19-29, 2015


We just found out our dates for our summer trip to CROOKED CREEK RANCH Young Life resort in Colorado. Make sure you don't schedule a family vacation or sports camp during JUNE 19th-29th. 

Spots are limited. Download the Registration Form, print it off, fill it out and give to a Young Life leader ASAP! $100 is all you need to reserve your spot. Payments can be made throughout the year! It makes a great Christmas gift! 

Here's a 3 minute video showing you why Crooked Creek is sooooo amazing! 



Click Here for the video!


The cost is crazy expensive, but it's so worth it for one of the best weeks of your life. Last year NW students fundraised over $5000. A few students raised EVERY PENNY. It's $950, but you can sign up with a $100 deposit and start fundraising today. We leave in 33 weeks (233 days).  After you pay the $100 deposit, it's basically raising $25/week until we go. You can do that. We as your leaders would love to help you. Money has NEVER stopped anyone from experiencing this life changing week in Colorado! 



Fundraisers

Krispy Kreme BOGO Cards
We're selling Krispy Kreme buy one dozen, get one dozen free cards. You get 10 dozen dougnuts free! The card is valued at $80 and only costs us $8. We sell them for $20 (cheaper than buying 2 dozen), making $12/card profit. Last year our family personally bought 2 cards and they never expire! 

Sell 16 cards and make over $200!


Applebees Breakfast

Every spring we have a YL breakfast at Applebees on Battleground. Kids sell tickets to anyone for $7 and make $5 for each ticket. 

Invite 4 families of 5 and make another $100.


Odd Jobs/YardWork

We have lots of friends who want to help kids go to camp and pay well for hourly work. Let us know if you want to work and we'll help find folks to hire you. Now is also a good time of year to rake leaves and clean gutters. Ask your neighbors if you can clean their gutters for a $ donation towards your summer camp. 

Work odd jobs for 20 hours and make $$300. 


Ask For Sponsors

We do a trash-a-thon in May where we pick up trash off the streets. Kids get sponsors per bag of trash. Get your grandmother, uncle, and 2 family friends to each sponsor you $5/bag. 

Pick up 10 bags of trash and that's another $200.


$150 deposit  (Christmas Gift)

$200 for Krispy Kreme cards
$100 Applebee's
$300 odd jobs
$200 sponsors
$950 

It can add up fast. AND there will be some scholarship $. Don't let money stop you, we'll help you get there!
