NYR is short for Nationwide Youth Roundup. It is a Christian conference for teens that takes place at Roundup Ranch in Sedalia, CO. Each church group has its own designated campsite on the mountain, so your teen should expect a full-on camping experience. We’ll stay in tents, cook our own meals, bring camping chairs down into the valley for worship sessions, and debrief around a campfire at night. Portapotties are set up all around Roundup Ranch, and there are multiple showerhouses on-site as well.

Our group leaves a few days before the NYR conference officially begins. This is primarily for two reasons: First, because it allows us to set up our campsite before the valley gets too crowded with other groups trying to get up and down the mountain. Second, having a couple of days before the conference starts gives us the chance to bond together as our own group. We will have a couple of fun outings together in the Denver area that weekend before NYR begins.

$80 of the total balance must be paid at the time of registration as a non-refundable deposit. The full balance must be paid by Sunday, July 5th.

Yes! On Sunday, May 17, we will have a fundraiser grab-and-go meal at Crossroads during morning services. Any student who helps will earn money toward their trip balance. If a student wants to help but is unable to be there on that day, they can have somebody work in their place, just so long as it’s not another student attending the trip.

We will collect students’ phones once we arrive at our campsite on Friday the 17th. This is because we like for the campers to be able to disconnect from their normal life for a bit and focus on enjoying the NYR experience together. However, our adult leaders will have their own phones on them most of the time if someone needs to be contacted. Roundup Ranch also has a landline phone that can be contacted in case of emergencies: (866) 450-4697. In the event that a camper has some sort of emergency, Ian will contact their parent as promptly as possible.
