IYWT 2026: A New Chapter for Youth Workers Training

What an incredible weekend at the first ever IYWT!

For more than 70 years, International Youth Camp has helped prepare workers to minister to young people in our youth camps. This year began a new chapter as IYC became International Youth Workers Training, expanding its focus from solely camp workers to anyone who ministers to youth.

And what a beginning it was! Attendance doubled from 30 students at IYC ’25 to 60 students at IYWT ’26!

It was a wonderful weekend of fellowship, practical training, and worship. Most importantly, the Spirit of God met with us in every service, with an especially powerful outpouring Saturday night.

Students left spiritually fed, better equipped, and ready to return to their fields of labor and WORK for the next generation!

We thank God for an outstanding first IYWT and look forward to seeing the fruit that comes from it! 

Make plans now to attend next year. The dates are September 17–20, 2027. We hope to see you there!
