Youth With A Mission Chico · Private
YWAM Chico (Youth With A Mission) is a faith-based missionary community on a 500-acre former resort in Northern California. Its youth ministry serves teens and youth groups through Christian camps, outreaches and mobile teams, alongside adult Discipleship Training Schools and short-term mission trips. Programming is evangelical and group-oriented rather than a conventional open-enrollment kids' camp; the grounds include cabins and conference facilities with hiking nearby.

Powered by GoogleOur kids grew up spending a week during summer breaks at YWAM Richardson’s Springs Chico, CA.the kids still share stories of how great their experiences were.
Amazing people, amazing place; hike to the waterfall if you can!
Everybody here was so polite and courteous we got the historic grand tour by a gentleman with a delightful accent. He explained the history of Richardson Springs and invited us to explore the hiking trails an waterfalls. The children were so nice nearly every one of them said hello and.were so happy playing there was such positive energy we truly enjoyed ourselves
Incredible views, interesting historical finds, well maintained resort grounds, hotels, cabins and other structures. Hiking trails to falls, look out vantage points in cliff walls overlooking vast canyons, creeks, reservoirs, underground and under water caves, hot springs, sweet water spring, etc.
It's YWAM. What's not to love? Awesome people. They fed us. They let us sleep and worship. And they gave us an awesome setting for all of it. The falls hike was a little rugged and the view of the fall was limited, but it was still cool.
