Inviting kids to experience life as God intended it to be.

Welcome to Hays County Young Life!

Young Life exists to introduce kids to Jesus and help them grow in their faith. Young Life was started in Hays County in 2009, and has since impacted thousands of kids by introducing them to Young Life leaders and inviting them into a life of adventure and faith. Hays County Young Life has ministries operating in San Marcos, Wimberley, and at Texas State University.

What is Young Life?

A group of young adults at a social gathering, with some smiling and others focused, standing in a room with string lights and a sign on the wall that reads 'San'.

CLUB

Each Monday night, hundreds of students gather in Hays County to attend a Young Life club! It’s loud, it’s crazy, and it’s a ton of fun. But more than anything, kids get to hear about Jesus from a Young Life leader at the end of the night.

CAMP

We invite kids into adventures of a lifetime with their leaders to get to experience new things and learn about Jesus along the way. We take multiple camp trips each year where students can bring friends and experience the best week or weekend of their lives!

CAMPAIGNERS

A time to go deeper with leaders. Outside of club, kids have the chance to do a weekly bible study or “campaigners” with their leader where they explore scripture talk about real life things.
