The YTM Story

As you know, there are summer volleyball camps and basketball camps. YTM is affectionately called “God camp” by many of the youth participants. YTM is a camp for high school youth who want to go deeper into understanding and living out their Catholic Christian faith. At YTM, you will take theology classes in the morning from theology professors from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, you will go off campus and do service learning in the afternoon, have some free time to relax, and in the evening experience a variety of Christian prayer forms. “God camp” is a time to grow in our relationship and commitment to God and the community of faith. It’s also great fun. YTM is sponsored by Saint John’s University School of Theology and Seminary in an effort to share its theological and pastoral resources with youth and adults in parishes and schools throughout the country.
