If your child is planning a future trip to Malibu Club or is here right now, we want you to have the information you need to rest easy while he or she is away. There are many activities at camp in which your child may be participating. Whether they are challenged on the zip lines, playing in the waterfront or the gym, their safety is our top concern.

If you are interested in attending Malibu Club or finding out how to send your child to Young Life camp, contact your local Young Life office. They might not be attending camp at Malibu Club, but they most likely have a trip planned to one of Young Life's other fabulous properties!
