From Pyoca Camp and Retreat Center:

Join us at Pyoca October 4th – 6th for our 5th Annual Fall Youth Conference. We are delighted to welcome Rev. Shelly Wood and Matthew Black as this year’s keynote speaker and worship leader for the Fall Youth Conference.

This year’s theme is A Light in the Darkness. We know that youth are not immune to darkness and times of struggle. They deserve to have a space that is open for them to talk about their fears, anxieties, and what challenges them.

When we are able to talk about the darkness around us we bring light to difficult situations. We find hope that God is right alongside us in our darkest places moving us into the light.

This year’s theme will focus on the story of Zacchaeus and what it means to see, be seen, and share the light of Christ with others.

The conference is open to any youth group and their youth leaders. Youth in grades 6-12 are welcome. Small groups will be split by age group, 6th-8th grade and 9th-12th. Individual youth without a group attending are encouraged to group up with another church to register.

Be sure to check out our flyer!

All general conference information (fees, registration, etc.) can be found in the FYC Church Group Information sheet.

How to Register:

FYC registration is by church, rather than by individual. Each church must designate a Youth Registrar, most often a Youth Director or volunteer youth leader.

If you have individual youth looking to join us, but do not have a full group, let us know and we can assist in pairing you with a partner church!

Step One: Please indicate to the Pyoca office your intent to join us by submitting the Group Pre-Registration Form and Youth Leader Registration Form via email to Molly DeWitt (molly@pyoca.org) no later than Friday, Sept. 20th, 2019. That way, we have a general estimate on how many youth and adults will be joining us.

Step Two: Have each youth participant fill out the FYC Youth Registration Form and return them to the Registrar. Youth forms can be sent via mail or email to Molly DeWitt. If needed, youth forms can be brought to the conference on Friday, Oct. 4th.

• After the registration deadline, one?for?one substitutions of the same gender may be made. Additional registrations will be accepted if space is available.
• For substitutions or additions, contact Molly DeWitt at molly@pyoca.org or (812) 358-3413.

Additional information and all conference forms can be found here.

Join us for Week 3 Camp Programs!

We still have spots left in each of our Week 3 Camp Programs and we want to ensure even more campers have the opportunity to experience the magic of camp this summer.

Join us for Explore Camp (entering 2nd – 4th grade), Discover Camp (entering 4th – 6th grade, and Challenge Camp (entering 7th – 9th grade).

Our annual Boat-a-thon helped us raise nearly $10,000.00 toward camper scholarships this year, so we still have scholarship assistance left for campers who wish to join us this coming week. Scholarship forms can be found here.

Have you already been with us for camp this summer? Join us for a second week! We’d love to have your camper join us for another week of fun.

Week 3 (June 30th-July 5th) is always an amazing week because of our annual 4th of July Celebration.

We will gather campers together for our field day games on July 4th, have an all-camp cookout at the Pavilion, and finish off the night with our fireworks show put on by Senior Director Mike Davis. It’s a week you won’t want to miss!

It’s never too late to join us for a summer you won’t forget. Register your campers today!
