The Quest: An Adventure to Change Your Life

Yellowstone Alliance Adventures is a Christian-based camp that focuses on the whole person, more than your average skill-based programs. This summer camp delivers value-based character formation in the midst of wild, crazy, and fun activities that capture kids' imaginations and interests. Our focus at YAA is on the person rather than their performance. Through well-planned programs, dynamic speakers, cabin times and individual time spent with counselors; campers are enriched, encouraged, and introduced to Jesus Christ in a personal way.

Our summer camps are run by a trained staff of Christian leaders who love and care for kids. We guarantee a maximum staff-to-camper ratio of 1:6 in each cabin. Our state-licensed kitchen always gets high marks for quality meals and puts out more than just "camp food." You can be assured that time spent at YAA is a great investment and well worth the cost.

The Quest: You are on an adventure with a purpose. You are determined to succeed. All of a sudden, trails converge and each one leads somewhere. But which one goes where? You must decide. On any given trail, it's easy to get distracted and even lost. But you must press on to the destination.

Join us this summer for loads of exciting adventures and activities as we learn together about what we need for our personal journey. In the midst of the fun we will learn about the God who actually ventures with us and seeks to have a relationship with us.

Wilderness Programs

Yellowstone Alliance Adventures exists to introduce people to Jesus Christ and develop them to reflect His character. Going to camp takes us out of our normal setting, and going on a wilderness trip takes that experience even further. Being out in the wilderness allows us to see God's creation in fresh, new ways. Hiking and living with a small group of people allows us to learn things about the body of Christ. Challenging ourselves with new circumstances shows us our character and helps us to grow. All these things are at the heart of why we want you to come with YAA into the backcountry of the Gallatin National Forest.

The cost for each of these camps is $245. A $50 non-refundable deposit is due with registration.
