• Young Life's Lake Champion is located in Glen Spey, New York, in the rural valley between the Catskill and Pocono Mountains. Camp is 90 miles from New York City, 30 minutes from conveniences like Walmart, Home Depot, fast food options, and sit down restaurants, and 5 minutes from a local deli, gas station, and Dollar General. Camp housing may be available, as a large percentage of staff live on the camp property.
