Trail West Lodge Young Life’s Family Camp “It was a great time for our whole family to be drawn to Jesus. We didn’t want to leave!” – Max and Denalyn Lucado
Closer Together As Young Life’s only national family camp property, Trail West has two objectives: To create a place for families to experience the love of Christ together, and to let our guests learn more about the ministry of Young Life around the world. Each day is filled with programming that involves the whole family, with the sole purpose of bringing you together in playful activities. And at night, your family will attend “Club” which includes music, songs, mixers, skits and a short, relevant message of God’s love for us, expressed through His Son, Jesus Christ. The message is given in a clear and winsome way, so kids and adults alike can appreciate, understand and enjoy it. By removing the distractions from back home, and bringing your family to the majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado, with their breathtaking views and extraordinary wildlife, you’ll be taking a significant step toward creating a closer knit family. From the natural surroundings, to the activities we’ve designed to amuse, enthuse and thrill our guests, both you and your kids will have the time of your lives! It’s no wonder families leave Trail West saying, “That was the best week of our lives!”

History of Young Life Young Life began when a young seminary graduate living in Gainesville, Texas was burdened by the unchurched kids he saw at the local school. He decided to reach out to them with the Good News that God loved them, in a way that would be relevant to them and their culture. That man, Jim Rayburn, started a weekly club with just 10 kids, who were mostly disinterested in God and church. Songs, skits and a simple talk about Jesus Christ were the staple. Thus, the “Young Life Campaign” was born. And it wasn’t long before hundreds of kids were feeding on the Living Word of Jesus Christ—and enjoying it! In the words of Jim Rayburn, “It’s a sin to bore a kid with the Gospel.”
