The Spokane River beckoned under a balmy sky at Camp White in Post Falls Thursday afternoon. Nathan Mayfield, 2, couldn’t wait to get his feet wet. “Go to pool?” he asked, pointing to the shimmering expanse of water.

His mom, Jessica Andrew, 18, laughed. “That’s a big pool!”

The pair were part of a picnic and beach day sponsored by Young Lives. Operating under the umbrella of Young Life, (a nondenominational Christian ministry for adolescents) the program reaches out to middle school- and high school-age girls who are pregnant or raising a child. Cindy Hval, SR
