Here’s a video recap from last year’s EFYSA event in Nauvoo, showcasing what YSA participants can expect from the weekend conference.
These YSA conferences will have a more mature focus than the youth event in group discussions and devotionals. But the EFYSA page explains that, in true EFY fashion, each session will still include a dance, service project, and variety show.
Registration opens May 1 and will fill up quickly, so don’t miss out! To learn more about the events and to register, visit efysa.ce.byu.edu. To register for the event in Calgary, click here.
