Theme: Flocking
YAC is the best way to start your summer! At YAC “young adults” are people in their 20s, 30s and 40s who come together to revel in a community of like-minded souls. We challenge each other to maximize the creations, the conversations, the realizations and the relaxations that can be achieved during our precious time on the island and carried on throughout the year. Workshops offer the opportunity to share your knowledge/talent/obsession or discover a new one. At night kick back and cut loose (because there’s just no party like a “young adults” party)! There will also be time for the quieter joys that make Star a spiritual place, like candlelit chapel services and reflective moments lit by beautiful Star Island sunsets.
Whether you’re a YRUU grad, worked as a Pel or just heard of it through the grapevine YAC is the place for you. Join us as we forge new bonds, reconnect with old friends and be a part of a growing collective/family/(dare we say) movement. To get involved and get excited please visit our website for more information on workshops and happenings.
We welcome children ages 6 and under to our conference and while we enjoy having parents and their kids at YAC, we don’t offer specific programming for children. Please contact the registrar if you have questions regarding what accommodations will be available for parents traveling to Star with children.
