YouthCon 2019 was held in Glorieta, N.M., April 3-7. Click on the links below to see snapshots from the week.
Six general sessions encouraged students to take their next step with Jesus, after which, students processed the content with sponsors during youth group breakouts.
Instead of a general session Friday morning, students selected labs to attend.
Mornings began early with J time devotions at 6:30 each day.
Free time took place each afternoon from 1:30-6. Meals were served family-style in the dining hall with the exception of a picnic lunch Saturday noon.
Late night activities ranged from dance parties to s’mores around the fire pit.
Camp facilities were located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains 15 miles southeast of Santa Fe, N.M.
Photos were taken by Nancy Boothe unless otherwise noted.
