More than just a place, more than a "time-slot" in one's life, Youth Conference is a unique experience that is difficult to put into words. Pictures may help. Look at them. But even pictures are limited by their silence.

Youth Conference is a journey of togetherness shared by the men of Camp Judson and the women of Camp Hasseltine and the Conference staff. Youth Conference attracts campers and staff from the United States and around the world.

The program includes beach time, sports, entertainment, evening program, a talent show, special events, field trips, chapel, vespers, and a unique candlelight commitment service.

CYC, formerly known as the New England Baptist Youth Conference, has been held each summer on the coast of Maine for nearly a century. The Conference is held for two weeks each August. Though Baptist in history and sponsorship, CYC is truly inclusive, welcoming youth from all persuasions.

Christian Youth Conference maintains a covenant relationship with the American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts.
