Happy Holidays!
This past year allowed us to explore the importance of understanding ourselves and utilizing that knowledge to better mold our lives. We hope you’ll take that lesson to heart in all your endeavors, especially going forward into the new year!
Exciting News:
Get ready for new changes, including an additional day of camp at a brand new campsite! LYF Camp 2019 will take place Monday, June 24, 2019 through Sunday, June 30, 2019 at Silver Spur Retreat Center in Tuolumne, CA.

LYF Leadership has been working tirelessly to create the opportunity for our campers to express themselves and inspire the community around them. We’re proud to present the Future Leader Scholarship, to highlight 1-2 campers who embody the spirit of LYF and reflect the leadership qualities we teach at camp. Applications and more details will follow in January.

This year, our board of directors consists of a fresh and talented group of individuals. Everyone is ready to TACL the year with unique ideas to bring LYF above and beyond! But FIRST, some fun icebreakers —
|
Jessica lives by this Kristen Bell quote: “If I’m not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I’m crying.” She has cried during almost every movie she’s ever seen.
Monica has inquisitive taste buds—in fact, she can tell the difference between tap versus bottled water when blindfolded. Try her. Plus, she loves lukewarm water with a side of lemon. So she’s all about the dihydrogen monoxide.
Emily collects public library memberships for borrowing rights to their ebook systems. She has access to 6 ebook systems so far, and is planning to add Oakland next.
Albert works remotely about 7 months of the year (e.g. 2 weeks in Japan) and lives in the warm tropical climate of Chicago, Illinois for the remainder.

George’s favorite recent backpacking memory was watching a wild fox grab a trout straight from an Alpine lake and bring it back to its den.
Shereen is making a toy from scratch and has hopes to let people play with it soon.
Amber loves all of the crazy things her students say (i.e. “What has four whales but also fleas? George Washington!!!”)
Chris was once bitten by a giant centipede in his sleep which resulted in him having to lug around a baseball-sized hand in Taiwan for a week.
Jonathan sleeps an average of 5 hours each night.

Hi! We are Chris and Amber, 2019 LYF Camp’s Program Directors. Amber has been a part of LYF since 2011, and has been planning since then for the day she became PD. Chris has been at camp since 2006 and can’t wait to create his own camp experience for the campers today. Now that it’s finally here, we’re excited to start creating the best LYF Camp yet!
See you all soon at Winter Reunion!
