What does NYR offer a youth group?

NYR gives a youth group the opportunity to build unity with their group. Being that their group is camping out, preparing meals together and going to teaching sessions together, the group is learning unity and depending on each other very early in the week. By the end of NYR, a youth group leaves the mountain as a closer group and ready to go and live for Christ in their homes, their schools and communities.

Can I bring an ATV or golfcart to NYR 2010?

Yes, but all ATVs and golfcarts must be registered and require a $25 registration fee per vehicle.  For the safety of all campers, additional rules apply for all those operating ATV's and golfcarts.  If you are interested in bringing an ATV or golfcart, please download the Mororized Recreational Vehicle Application.

What's the weather like?

The evenings/nights at NYR can get quite cool, sometimes dipping into the low-mid 40s. We are at an elevation of almost 8,000 feet above sea level. Many fare quite well with just sweatshirts and wind breakers, but be sure to pack according to your tolerance (or lack of) to the weather. Rain can be quite common, and we hold all sessions regardless of the weather conditions, so a rain coat or a poncho would be recommended. During the day, the temperature will get into the 80s or low 90s.
