Montreat Youth Conference 2020 

Where: Montreat, NC

When: Saturday June 13- Saturday June 20, 2020

Who: Youth who have completed 8th-12th grade in the 2017-18 school year (rising 9th-12th graders plus graduated high school seniors)

**Note for current 8th graders: Montreat and Massanetta are open to current 8th graders. If you can only do one trip this year (Montreat or Massanetta) we highly recommend that you go to Montreat. This really helps our 8th graders get integrated into the high school youth group. 

What: This conference is a unique gathering of young people from all over the country for a week of study, worship, and recreation. Activities include morning energizers, music, keynote, small group meetings, afternoon recreation activities, and evening worship. This conference strives to create a community of safe space, where you can gain a deeper understanding of God. It will allow you to explore differences and similarities together as well as make connections with neighbors near and far. As you prepare for this experience at Montreat, the team will be praying for you and your journey here.

Transportation: DPC uses 15-passenger activity buses with adult chaperone drivers

Theme of MYC 2020: “We Are” 

COST per youth: $500

Confidential Scholarships available upon request.

Dec. 8th, 2019 Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser & May 3rd- BBQ Fundraiser for Summer trips after church (set up in morning). All youth and their families going on trips should plan to help out. Our fundraising goal of $5,000 if met allows us to subsidize the costs for the trip (Actual cost per youth for Montreat: $716)

Pre-trip meetings:TBD 

**Participate in 2 DPC Youth Group events during Spring 2020. We always hope that our summer trips create and enhance a youth’s long-lasting relationships with God and their church family (near and far). We also hope that our youth put their faith in action by gathering in community, worshipping, and serving others not just for one week in the summer but all year round. Thus, we encourage youth going on summer trips to join us throughout the year!  Please see the Spring calendar for dates. For those going on a mission trip we encourage one of your 2 youth group events to be a service project!
