To help gain a sense of oneself and one's personal beliefs.
To experience together the love of God.
Christian Youth Conference, formerly known as NEBYC, has been held on the coast of
Maine since 1915. The Conference takes place over the course of two weeks
each August and is held at
Oceanwood,
a Christian camping and conferencing facility located in Ocean Park, Maine. We are
truly inclusive, welcoming youth from all persuasions.
CYC is a journey of togetherness shared by the men of Camp Judson and the women of
Camp Hasseltine. It's a place where participants can build their faith with each other through:
Daily Chapel
Vespers
Sports
Campfires
Beach Time
Cabin Devotions
Evening Programs
Community Service
An Inspiring Communion Service
CYC is structured to appeal specifically to senior-high youth, providing them with
the tools they need to face the challenges of high school and young adulthood
in today's society. With that in mind we insist that participants have completed
the 9th grade prior to attending CYC.
