BCYC: Benedictine College Youth Conferences
Join us on campus for one of Benedictine College's Catholic summer youth camps, designed with the current high school student in mind.
Hundreds of students and youth ministers had the time of their lives last summer, and we are looking forward to five total youth programs in June and July 2024, including four sessions of our popular academic camps and one large-scale, passionately Catholic youth conference.
In July 2024: BCYC at the National Eucharistic Congress
Join BCYC July 16-22, 2024 for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage from our campus in Atchison, Kansas, to the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis. Be transformed by the renewal of Eucharistic devotion! Learn More
