YTHX 26 High School Coming Soon Poster

YTHX26 High School

There are camps, and then there’s YTHX.

OverviewMiddle SchoolHigh School

So, what’s YTHX?

Think summer camp — then add a few shots of espresso and turn up the worship, the fun, and the faith. That’s YTHX.

From July 15-18 at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C., high school students will dig deep into what it looks like to follow Jesus.

Incredible worship? No doubt. Challenging and refreshing messages? Count on it. Lifelong connections and community? Check and check. And when it’s over, high schoolers will leave ready to take on the world with boldness and confidence in who God has created them to be.

Encounter Jesus. Discover purpose.

An experience that delivers what they need

Students will have three days packed full of experiences leading to full hearts, challenged minds, encouraged spirits, and changed futures.

Spirit-filled messages just for them

Expect an environment that’s fun, energetic, safe, and intentionally designed to help students grow. Powerful worship, honest small group conversations, and meaningful connections with others, are just some of the ways they’ll find what they need to take their next steps in faith.

"God completely filled and overwhelmed me — it was the best moment of my life. I can’t wait for next year."

You can enroll in a monthly payment plan, which allows you to break your payment up into smaller payments throughout the year.

Those who need financial assistance can apply here.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds.

If your student can no longer attend YTHX26, you can send someone in their place by connecting with the YTH Director at your campus.

Protecting our students is our number one priority. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Every adult serving in our youth ministry is required to have a Level 4 background check and complete a mandatory Safety Awareness Training.
  • We’ll have a team dedicated to keeping your youth safe during every part of the event. This includes law enforcement, security staff and volunteers (think hall monitors and night watch), medics, and registered nurses.

  • Youth who take medication must bring only what is needed for the duration of the event in a clear bag.
  • Youth will be responsible for carrying and administering their own medication.
  • If a student needs help with their medication, their eGroup Leader can help administer it with parent consent.
  • All medications must be documented during the bag-check at the campus check-in.

  • Accommodations will be assigned by campuses.
  • Youth will room with other students from their eGroup.
  • Male and female housing will be separate.
  • Leaders will be housed in every dorm.
  • Room Checks will occur every night by eGroup Leaders and security staff and volunteers.
  • If you would like your student to turn in their phone at night, be sure to let their eGroup Leader know. The eGroup Leader will take the phone during the room check and return it to the student the next morning.

If you have any questions, contact your campus YTH Director or email ythx@elevationchurch.org.
