YAK Camp

Three-year cycle of emphases:

First Year: “Y” is wholesome thought and speech (YAK)
Second Year: “A” is ACTION that is positive, disciplined and oriented to serving others
Third Year: “K” is KNOWLEDGE leading to inner strength and character

Six speakers and role models, including a Catholic priest, encourage and teach youth Christ-like qualities of the year’s focus. These are also reinforced through memorization of Principles and Promises from Scripture, drama, music, and an end-of-the week field competition called “Power Trip”.

yaya YAK

This will be my first trip to Yak Camp as a grunt, for the previous two years I was a camper. Each year has been more fun than the year before. You learn so much about yourself and others. Getting to meet all the new people and seeing the ones you met before again is awesome! It has also helped me increase my knowledge and my faith in such a fun way with people my own age. I look forward to seeing all the leaders and friends and helping to make this upcomeing year a BLAST! YAYA YAK!
