Bruins are finding support and spiritual strength through CampusLife.
CampusLife is a religious organization in Nevada City that has helped Bear River teens and the greater community since 1982 and was given to ben mills in 2008. “CampusLifes main purpose is to support local high school kids by helping them form positive relationships in their lives (friends, mentors, etc.), getting them out on adventures, giving them support and counsel (mentorship), and most importantly teaching them the ways of Jesus so they can have fuller lives and spend eternity with Christ.”
CampusLife gets together every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to go over everyone’s week and to talk about religion and how to touch the hearts and souls of the people around us.
“It’s a great group of people,” said Morgan Ham, a freshman. “CampusLife is a great group because it helps the teens in our community with their hardships in high school and in later life.”
Students say they are enjoying CampusLife.
“I really like it,” said Kalei Owen, a sophomore. “It’s a fun place to be, and just to get out and meet new people and become friends.”
Ben Mills and Scott Mills, the leaders of CampusLife, have many events planned for the year.
“CampusLife has all walks of life,” said Scott Mills. ”No matter who someone is, bad or good, they are accepted here. It’s a place to bring people together, not apart. It is a place where people can come and feel safe.”
“I go because I like it,“ said Gabe Kenes, a sophomore. ”I went to CampusLife cause my friend Johnny Carrio invited me. I like it there because I like to meet new people and going out to the places it takes us. I go back because it is a fun experience with all of the adults.”
“I go because the people are really nice,” said Morgan Ham, a freshman. ”It’s a lot of fun and it’s just a great environment. My friend Madalyn invited me. I go back because it’s like one ginormous family where everyone is accepted no matter what you’ve done in the past.”
