Horizons Values Conference Friday, May 16- Sunday, May 18, 2008 Horizons is a weekend conference for all high school students. It's even open to
non-YIG students, so bring a friend! You’ll spend the weekend making new friends, catching up with old friends, discussing
ideas, issues and the things that are important to YOUR life. It’s not technically a “debate” conference,
but instead is a weekend for in-depth conversations, talking about what’s on YOUR mind,
and just enjoying the magic that is any YIG conference! Activities include group discussions, high ropes course, square dance,
Bedlam Ball, talent show, and hanging out with friends.
