You and your family are invited to join us for family camp at
WINDY GAP - May 2-4, 2025!
WAIT LIST IN PLACE: As of 11/25 we have filled all of the 85 spots that we have been allocated. We encourage you to still sign up as we are hoping we will be able to accommodate everyone, and additional spots will be granted on a first come first serve basis. If for some reason you are not able to get a spot, we will issue a full refund.
Imagine spending the weekend with your family away from the busyness of life at Young Life's Windy Gap nestled in the mountains just outside of Asheville, North Carolina!
Who Comes to Family Camp: Families from Lake Norman, as well as other areas around North & South Carolina. Anyone is welcome at Family Camp! Many families have been a part of Young Life for years and some will be brand new!
What to Expect: Adventure, fun, and memories! Windy Gap has so much to offer families! You can play in the the lake, archery tag, ropes course, do the giant swing, shoot hoops in the gym, disc golf, game room, volleyball, etc. Or just relax by sitting on the rocking chairs overlooking the beautiful camp! We will have Club four times over the course of the weekend, where we will sing/worship alongside our kids and hear a series of talks (while our kids head out for Kids Club).

Kids Club (infant to 5th grade): Kids Club will be provided for children (infant to 5th grade) during the talk portion of each of our four YL Clubs. This time will be a fun time for your kids to hear about Jesus, make crafts, play games, and be cared for well by our Kids Club volunteers. If you have any specific questions/concerns, let us know so we can serve you & your kids well!
Middle School Club (6th, 7th, and 8th grade): It has been our experience that students who are in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade don't know where to go or what to do during the talks (ie. do they stay with all their parents, or do they go out?). We will have space for these students to have a Middle School 'WyldLife Club', tailored just to them!
High Schoolers (9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade): If you have a high schooler who would like to do WORK CREW or assist with KIDS CLUB, please send us an e-mail & we can find a spot for them to serve!
Health Forms: Families are required to fill out a YL Health Form which will be emailed once you register and can be completed electronically.
