Do we have to bring adults with us?

We are relying on adult volunteers to supervise youth while at the event, so we encourage churches to send adults with their youth. However, we understand that it may not be possible for all churches to send adults. If you are not able to send adults, we will try to assign an adult from another church to your youth.

Who is planning this thing?

CYF Assembly is planned by the Upper Midwest Youth Council, a group of identified high school age leaders from churches in the Upper Midwest Region.
