February 5-7, 2027
Middle schoolers, don’t miss this incredible weekend! We’ll join many middle schoolers from several area churches for our Winter Camp in Challenge, CA, for an action-packed few days. We’ll enjoy a live band, dynamic speakers, and meaningful conversations in heated mountain cabins to result in friendships and life-changing growth in your faith.
Last Year’s Theme
Life is a race—fast-paced, full of turns, and sometimes unpredictable. In Hebrews 12:1-3, we’re reminded to “run with endurance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.” Just like a driver focuses on the track ahead, we’re called to keep our eyes on Christ as we navigate the road of faith. Full Throttle is a journey through what it means to live life at full speed for God—running with purpose, not just motion.
The Camp
Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, nestled next to the Plumas National Forest, the historic town of Woodleaf had its start as a stagecoach and hotel stop during the California gold rush in the mid 1800s.
Owned and operated by Young Life since 1966, it is now an exciting summer camp and retreat center. You will find great service, fun activities, and excellent facilities here among the tall trees of Northern California at Young Life’s Woodleaf!
