Frequently Asked Questions About Y.E.S.
What is Y.E.S.?
A Youth Encounter Spirit (Y.E.S.) weekend brings together members of the 7th-9th grade youth of the Diocese of Texas as a Christian community. The 7th-9th grade participants and adult sponsors from youth groups among the parishes and mission churches of  our diocese become members of the Y.E.S. family. The focus of Y.E.S. is “on who Christ is”. Y.E.S. helps foster a clearer appreciation of self, richer relationships with others and a deeper experience with Jesus. Being part of the Y.E.S. family is fun. The weekend affords a loving environment in which to enjoy the warmth of a personal relationship with our Father and His unconditional love. Y.E.S. is one of the many ways God is equipping the youth (and adults) of this diocese for service in furtherance of His eternal purposes.
Who may attend Y.E.S.?
Any youth currently enrolled in 7th-9th grades may attend Y.E.S. A maximum of 5 youth from the same parish or mission church may attend at one time. An adult from that parish or mission church must attend with his or her youth group.
Where and when are the Y.E.S. weekends?
All Y.E.S. weekends are held at Camp Allen Campsite #2. The weekend begins on Friday evening at 7 p.m. We cannot start without you! Y.E.S. concludes Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. All Y.E.S. participants must stay the entire weekend.
