Mentors
Along with their mentors, campers and their children eat meals together, sleep in the cabins
together, and have free time together in the afternoon.
It is helpful to have more mentors/leaders on hand during YoungLives camps. A ratio of at
least one mentor for a maximum of three campers is recommended. Consider a lower ratio if
you have campers with unique needs or multiple children.
All mentors attending camp should receive pre-camp training at home to prepare them for
the week.

The schedule is adapted for the needs of teen parents and their children, giving them time
