WHAT IS​ WYLDLIFE?

WyldLife is Young Life for middle schoolers. It's a group of caring adults who step into the world of kids to show them they matter.

You’ll find WyldLife leaders cheering for kids at soccer games, helping them with homework, or sharing fries at local spots.

HOW​ WYLDLIFE WORKS

Club

WyldLife club has been called controlled chaos, but it’s also a safe place where middle school kids can gather with friends and leaders to laugh, play games, and hear a simple message about God’s love for them.

Small Groups

When kids want to learn more, they can come to Campaigners. In smaller groups, kids and leaders discover what God says about life and faith. WyldLife leaders also encourage kids to grow in their faith through participation in church.

Camp

Kids often call WyldLife camp “the best week ever” because it was created with middle school kids in mind. Kids go to camp with their leaders and friends where they eat amazing food, try new adventures, and experience God’s invitation to enjoy life to the full.

WHO IS A​ WYLDLIFE LEADER?

WyldLife leaders mentor middle schoolers, guiding them through this challenging, complicated time. They believe kids deserve to know God’s love for them.

Adults, like parents and teachers, as well as college and high school students serve as WyldLife leaders.​ (All are screened and trained to work with this age group.)

1,000 DAYS OF​ SIGNIFICANCE

If you’ve been around middle school kids, you know they can be awkward, self-centered, dramatic, and even a little smelly. Who would want to spend time with kids like this?

The answer: WyldLife Leaders! They love spending time with middle school kids.

Middle school has been called “the 1,000 days of significance” because it’s the season of life when adults can have a lasting impact. Parents still play a tremendous role in their kids’ lives at this age, but kids are also listening to other voices as they ask, “Who likes me?” and “Where do I fit in?”

WyldLife leaders believe middle school kids are worth it. They want to help them discover that the God who created them also loves them and wants a relationship with them.

MIDDLE SCHOOL IS ALL ABOUT​ CHANGE

Their brains, bodies, and hearts are going through significant changes, and you may wonder how to keep up with it all. That’s one of the reasons we conducted The RELATE Project, a study offering key insights into the next generation. It aims to bridge the gap and offer a deeper understanding into what makes them flourish!
