SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

POLICIES & FAQ

Where it all got started

In 1972, a group of pastors and ministry leaders put together a summer conference where churches could bring their youth groups to experience a week of robust biblical teaching and worship alongside incredibly fun activities that fostered new and deepening connections within their group.

Beginning in 2025, we will host a total of eight national summer youth conferences in California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, and Texas. 

How we serve the Church

Our Heart

We are passionate about our mission of serving the Church in its efforts to reach and equip youth for Christ. The gospel tells us about the unrelenting love of God shown in the finished work of Jesus Christ. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:1). This is the heart behind everything we do at RYM and is what we seek to highlight at our summer youth conferences.

Our Goal

We host summer conferences that are God-centered, Word-driven, and Gospel-focused. Our goal is to provide a space where local churches from around the nation can gather together for worship, fellowship, and fun. During your week at RYM, you and your students will be encouraged and challenged by the Word of God, grow closer together as the body of Christ, and enjoy times of fun and fellowship.

Our Distinctives

We prioritize Scripture-forward teaching that is aimed at the heart. This happens nightly in large group worship and during elective seminars, small groups, and individual devotions. Logistically-speaking, Churches sign up their 'youth group' to come an RYM conference. Once onsite, we will house your students together, and they will get to interact with other students from all over the country in electives and activities throughout the day.

National Youth Conferences

To help meet growing demand, we are thrilled to announce an additional 4-night High School conference in Florida beginning summer 2025! Following our Middle School Florida conference, there will be two 4-night High School Florida conferences (HSFL1 and HSFL2) and then one 5-night High School Florida conference (HSFL3).

Below, you will find dates and locations for each of our eight national summer youth conferences.
