WHAT IS YFN?
Youth For The Nations has been transforming the lives of thousands of young people from all
over the globe since 1990. Located on the campus of Christ For The Nations in Dallas, Texas,
YFN is not your typical summer camp — it is a life-changing experience. Each week features
anointed speakers and intense praise & worship that will propel you into a more intimate
relationship with God.
Each day at YFN you can expect to participate in worship, workshops, games and free time. This
all builds up to our nightly services — powerful times of seeking the Lord together. The speakers
are sincere with a passion for God that will leave no heart unchanged. The worship will lead you
into the very depths of God’s being, meeting Him face to Face. Do you long for something more?
Don’t settle for what you have. Reach for His heart and you will find Him because He is longing
for yours. Come find Him this summer. He is waiting for you.
ACCOMMODATION
Everyone is housed on the Christ for the Nations campus in dorm-style accommodations. You
will need to bring your own twin-sized bedding (sleeping bags work best). Room assignments
are made upon arrival, and every effort is made to keep campers from the same church together.
Private accommodations may be requested only for youth pastors with small children, but these
rooms are limited and may become available only on registration day. Because we expect to
close out each week of camp we will provide hotel information for youth pastors bringing their
families upon request. Meals for small children are available at a reduced rate. Please inform us
prior to your arrival if you are bringing children under the age of twelve.
WHAT TO BRING
Essentials: Bible, pen, and notepad
Bedding: Pillow, blanket, bedding to fit a twin size mattress and/or sleeping bag.
Other Stuff: Sleepwear, swimsuit, spending money, alarm clock.
Toiletries: Soap, shampoo, towels, washcloth, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.
Clothes: Dress code appropriate shorts are fine during the day. Clothing to get dirty during
Nations games. Nice casual clothes are required for evening services (no shorts allowed).
Modesty is the key. See “Dress Code” form.

balance for each camper is due upon arrival. Please make final changes with a total of males and
