LEADER RECOMMENDATIONS
Dear Youth Pastor,
We so appreciate all that you do to serve our youth in your regular role and we are very grateful for the extra effort it takes to attend a weekend like this one.
To help your kids make the best memories and to grow spiritually, we wanted to provide some “best practices”, so that we are all unified in our approach to this weekend.
- Please register all your youth leaders (including yourself, counted as 1), as it helps us balance our budget and plan properly. We have established a leader ratio of 1:6 and we will offer you the leader rate at that ratio, with a minimum of two (one male, one female) no matter the ratio. We encourage you to do your best to have one male and one female leader so that all of your kids’ needs can be easily addressed. We understand this may be impossible for smaller groups.
- Please make sure you or an appointed leader is available for the whole weekend as you will be leading your youth in:
- Small group discussions after each lesson
- The rec activity on Saturday afternoon (it needs adult supervision)
- Discussions regarding the breakout sessions that they participated in
REGISTRATION PRICING

LIT Leader / Host: $30 (to be arranged with Committee)
Friday Night Only: $20
Saturday Only: $90

*We have fixed our registration glitches and expect to have a much smoother process this year.
We will keep an eye on registrations and let you know three weeks before where your youth numbers are at and how many youth leaders you will need to/be eligible to register at the Youth Leader rate. We will update you again on the Sunday evening before PYPA.
This new policy helps us cover all of our food, recreation, transportation (if needed), speakers (both main and session) and miscellaneous costs. We are committed to keeping our costs low and manageable and appreciate your assistance by registering all of your youth leaders appropriately.
We are pleased to provide you a spot to register all of your youth, if that is easiest for you and your group. If you, as a youth pastor, are registering some or all of your kids, please include their information in the group registration. If they are graduating this year, please include a home mailing address for them so that we can send them a card at the end of the year.

RETRO PYPA
As you can see, on this new website, we are linking older photos and would love to have access to older videos as well. If you have any of these stored on your computers, please share them with us. We previously didn’t have a central place for storing documents/videos but we would love to save these on our new Google drive for future years.
