Every year, some of the best and brightest Catholic high school students from all over the country gather for two weeks of intensive spiritual growth at Saint John's School of Theology·Seminary’s Youth in Theology and Ministry program. YTM, affectionately called “God Camp” by many youth participants, is a camp for high school youth who want to more deeply understand and live out their Catholic Christian faith.
At YTM, you will take theology classes from theology professors from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, go off campus and do service learning, have some free time to relax, and experience a variety of Christian prayer forms. “God Camp” is a time to grow in your relationship and commitment to God and the community of faith. It’s also great fun!
YTM is funded through a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., support from Saint John's School of Theology·Seminary, and gifts from our YTM Vocation Partners. Participant registration fees cover just a fraction of the cost of the program.
YTM is a three-pronged program, serving high school youth, students from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University who serve as counselors, and adult mentors who earn a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from Saint John’s School of Theology·Seminary over the course of several years as part of a YTM cohort.
