Heroes:
Then & Now
Become One Tomorrow
Yellowstone Alliance Adventures provides a program
that focuses on the whole person; it is not just
another skill-based camp. We deliver a summer camp
experience that focuses on value-based character
formation in the midst of wild, crazy, and fun
activities that will capture your imagination and
interests. Our focus at YAA will be on you as a
person rather than your performance. Through our
well-planned programs, excellent speakers, cabin
times, and one-on-ones with counselors, campers will
be 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.
Who's your HERO? Firemen? Athletes? The smart or
good-looking kid? The big kid on the playground? A
favorite teacher or coach? How about Mom and Dad?
It's great that we have role models all around us
that we can look up to and admire, but have you ever
wondered what it really takes to be a HERO? Join us
as we look into the action-packed adventures of some
of the greatest heroes of all time. And we'll take
time to reveal all their secrets so you can know
exactly what it takes to become a HERO yourself.

Residential 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!
The cost for each of these camps is $245. ($220 if you

that support YAA financially are eligible to receive a $20 discount.) $50 non-refundable registration fee is due

We are continuing the Family BBQ and Awards Celebration on our
last day of each week's camp! We would like to include the whole
family at our final awards celebration. That's right—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!
