NEWBERRY COUNTY — Students from Newberry County were recently able to go to Windy Gap as part of Newberry County Young Life.
Windy Gap is owned and operated by Young Life and is located 15 miles north of Asheville, North Carolina, according to their website.
“After missing out on Young Life summer camp last year, we were excited to be at Windy Gap for a week this summer,” said Cole Harper, area director of Newberry County Young Life.
Harper said they took seven leaders and 29 high schoolers to Windy Gap this year. He said some things still looked different than years prior, but it was a success nonetheless.
“We had eleven students make decisions to live for Christ. Since we have gotten back, we have averaged about fifteen kids at our daily camp follow up events where we keep hanging out and read the Bible together,” Harper said. “This trip has given us great momentum going into the school year, and we believe God is going to keep doing great things.”
