Welcome to the Hillcrest Christian School Young Life Campaigner Web Site! This page is dedicated to the 8 students and leader of the longest running Bible study group ever assembled through Young Life at Hillcrest in Jackson, MS. We meet every Sunday for some Bible study, sports, and hangin' out. Our group has been together for 3 years now, and we have done some crazy and fun things. Our escapades include: kayaking and camping out on the Okatoma River (more than once), singing Christmas carols at a retirement home, cramming 6 people and their sleeping bags and overnight bags in a very tight Mustang for a weekend camp, going to the local hockey team's game, playing some frisbee golf, having an Olympics match on the old style Nintendo play pad, having a homerun derby, and countless games of ultimate frisbee, football, basketball, and ping pong. All of our guys are currently or have competed in a varsity sport at HCS that competes in the MPSA. The '99-'00 basketball team was preseason #1 in the state and recently won the South AAAA conference regular season and tournament, the State AAAA tournament, and the Academy Overall tournament. It is great to be able to show others how we can be Christians, excel at sports and school, and have fun everyday while constantly learning about and witnessing about Christ.
Young Life! is a non denominational Christian organization that ministers to high school students around the world. Young Life was started in 1940 and has been in Jackson for over 20 years. YL was started at Hillcrest in 1995 and is today found in high schools throughout the US and in 40 foreign countries. Young Life has many summer and winter camps all over the world also. Hillcrest groups have taken summer camping trips to Windy Gap in North Carolina over the past 4 summers. Some might argue that it is the best place on earth!
