About Campus Life
Campus Life knows that adolescence can be the best of times and the worst of times, and it is always a pivotal time in a young person's life.
Relationally Based
Campus Life has found the importance of shared experiences between a student and caring supportive adult are indispensable. This is why we place the primary focus on relationships and not programs.
Holistically Balanced
Campus Life is committed to helping students as they wrestle with issues they face, both big and small, while pursuing a balanced life: mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.
Individually Focused
Campus Life knows the journey of adolescence is different for everyone. We are committed to coming alongside students, meeting them where they are, in order to help them navigate these years.
