YTHX26 Middle School
A summer camp like nothing you’ve ever seen.
What exactly is YTHX?
You could call it a camp. You could call it a milestone. Or you could call it a three-day, three-night, all-gas-no-brakes encounter with God. From July 12-15 at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C., middle school students will learn about following Jesus, build friendships, and grow spiritually in ways they’ll still be talking about years later. So picture this: If camp had a double shot of espresso and a whole lot of Jesus, it’d be YTHX — three days of nonstop fun, worship, and spiritual growth.
There will be powerful worship. There will be sound biblical teaching. There will be refreshing and authentic community. And through it all, middle schoolers will discover their purpose and what it means to build active faith and live out their calling.
Encounter Jesus. Discover purpose.

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.
