In college, some friends and I had a tradition of celebrating the end of exams with a trip to Windy Gap Work Week! During those weeks we made a ton of new friends and had the privilege of helping prepare the property for the thousands of high schoolers who would shortly arrive for summer camp! We did all sorts of glamorous tasks:
If you've never been to a Young Life Camp Work Week, maybe this is the summer to begin a new tradition? Take your old Campaigners group who are now in college. Go with a group of leaders from your area. Grab some friends who maybe aren't yet involved with YL, but would love a chance to serve. You don't need any special skills and it's FREE! Plus.....YOU GET ANOTHER YOUNG LIFE T-SHIRT! What more motivation do you need?
Here's a video from Castaway Club about their Work Week!
And another video from Frontier Ranch!
