Horizons
Values Conference
Horizons is a weekend
conference for high school students. 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.
Conference Specifics
Date: TBA
Registration is from 5-7 p.m., so you don’t have to miss school and we'll
wap up by noon on Sunday.
Location: Camp Greenville
Horizons takes place at beautiful YMCA Camp Greenville, on the NC/SC border. Camp
Greenville is about an hour north of the city of Greenville.
You’ll stay in rustic cabins (with electricity and bathrooms) and will

What do your peers say about Horizons?
Horizons, more than any other conference (YIG or otherwise) makes you contemplate your relationships
to yourself and with others. Each year I am even more impressed with the thought-provoking issues that are presented.

I think Horizons is great
because it allows people from all over to come together and work as a team in small family groups. Horizons helps you see people from the December conference as people, and not some nebulous "opposition.”

There's nothing more spiritual than
reflecting with friends at Pretty Place. The only bad thing
about Horizons is leaving.
