Star Gathering 1 Youth

Growing through Play

"We don't Stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw

This summer, come join the Star Gathering 1 Youth as we explore the physical and mental benefits of play and learn to never get old! In a world that's constantly trying to pull our attention, we'll choose to direct it to play.  SG1 Youth Conference is rich in traditions including Walk & Talks, the Chili-Chili Stomp and the Boogaloo!

Through games, conversations, worship and sunsets (and far too many lime rickeys), we will learn to grow as individuals and as a community. Come be a part of that community and become a lifelong learner through play and motion!

The Youth Conference is for teens starting 9th grade through recent high school graduates. The program focuses on relationship building, renewal, and spiritual growth for up to 30 vacationing high school students. Its culture centers on fun, faith-building, and exploration, rather than traditional bible camp studies.  While families often join the Star Gathering 1 Family Conference when their teens are in SG1 Youth, it is not a requirement, provided the Minor Medical Forms have been filled out and submitted in advance. SG1 Youth Conferees will room with other Youth while on island, not with their families.

The SG1 Youth Conference will be led by a Youth Minister and two Youth Leaders.
