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.

Overnight Summer Camps
3rd through 12th Grade
Whether you’ve been to YAA before, or this is your first week,
you will be in for an awesome experience! You will have an
amazing counselor who really wants to connect with you and an
opportunity to get to know the other people in your cabin. For
residential camps, we still have the classic activities of
archery, water wars, crafts, zip line, climbing wall, and all
your old favorites. Be ready to be challenged during chapel and
cabin devotions. God is real and wants to take hold of your life. Come ready to be changed!
Registration is from 3:00–3:30 p.m.
on the first day of camp. Please do not drop off your child early!
Thank you!

that support YAA financially are eligible to receive a $20 discount.)

The Family BBQ and Awards Celebration will be held on the
last day of each week's camp! We would like to include the whole
family at our final awards celebration. Bring the
whole family when you come to pick up your camper and join us for
this final event! This will also be a time when you can meet your
child's counselor and new friends and have a small taste of their
exciting week here at YAA. Please let us know how many will be able
to attend when you fill out your registration form. Thanks! We
look forward to seeing you there!

Your favorite camp activities will be available, and you will have

white water rafting, negotiate our new challenge course, and
participate in a service project. Spiritual training and personal
character building will continue to be the foundation for this camp.
An additional fee may be required for certain activities. Dates for
this camp are July 6–10.
Day Camp
1st to
5th Grade
Is this camp for the kids or is it for the parents? We say it's for
both! Kids will get a full dose of camp life and be able to return
home to your care each night. Days will be full of skits, field
games, crafts, flying high on the zip line, and lessons from the
Bible. We expect that at the end of the day, kids will be wanting
more, so we plan to provide it. On Thursday, day campers will have
the option to spend one night in a cabin.

Dates for this camp are June 21–25!

Premier Soccer
Camp
Quality one-on-one instruction increases
ball handling skills in dribbling, passing, and shooting. Group
drills develop camaraderie and team work as well as insight into
the strategy of the game. Full-field play puts it all together, and a
love for the game is ultimately experienced. Our soccer camps are
designed to develop an athlete's skill with a special emphasis on
their character.
The cost for this camp is $125 for the week or $30 per day. (Regular attendees of churches
that support YAA financially are eligible to receive a $20
discount.) A $50 non-refundable deposit is due with

activities or just take a nap or go for a hike.

It is our goal at YAA to reach out to teens in a way
that brings their faith alive and helps them take steps in their
spiritual growth. Using all aspects of camp with daily Bible studies
and powerful mentoring relationships, these students are given a
strong foundation to become reliable men and women ready to stand up
for their faith. This discipleship training program is for students
entering 9th through 12th grade. The full session runs from June 10
through July 31. Cost is $350.

1—College Age and Above
This summer ministry project will impact you to step out in faith
and experience firsthand how God provides for those who put their
faith in Him. We seek to bring on the best and brightest college
students to be a part of our paid/volunteer summer staff. Our desire
is to give young men and women ministry opportunities, resulting in
spiritual growth and increased leadership abilities. After working
at YAA, college students are better equipped to take on roles as
Christian leaders in their communities. For an application or more
information, see the Employment page or

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.
Base Camp
6th to
8th Grade—June 27–July
2—10 person limit
A great
place for your camper to experience the outdoors. Learn basic
camping skills such as how to set up camp, cook in the woods, and
use a compass. Enjoy day hikes from base camp, located in the
Gallatin National Forest.
High Country
9th to
12th Grade—July 11–16—10
person limit
If you are
in high school, this trip is for you! Come for four nights in the
high country. Hone your camping and leadership skills along with
learning lightweight backpacking techniques. Make memories and enjoy
the views with less than 30 lbs. on your back.
Father/Son
7th
Grade and Up—August
7–10—12

Rental
Groups—Contact
YAA for available dates and size limitations.
Whether you are a youth group, leadership team, or family, we can
put together a custom trip just for you and your group's physical
and spiritual needs. A backpacking trip is a great way to get away
from distractions and focus on experiencing the wilderness, learning
about God, or just having fun.
