YU ADVENTURES 2027 IS HERE!
Each year, we run YU Adventures trips where youth have the opportunity to serve and grow in their faith. Our 2027 trips are coming up, and we’d love for you to be part of them.
Discipleship Camp | February 12-16, 2027 | Frontier Lodge, near Nordegg, AB | Grades 9-12 | $650
Five days in the mountains with a small group and a leader, learning what it means to follow Jesus and putting it into practice through adventure, service, and leadership. You may even be pushed a bit outside your comfort zone in your faith.
Mexico Mission Trip | Late July 2027 | Ensenada, Mexico | Grades 9-12 | $2100
Serve and grow in your faith alongside a local community in Ensenada. Exact dates and cost are coming soon.
Fundraising support and the YU Adventure Scholarship are available, so cost doesn’t have to keep you home.

FAQs
Safety - We partner with local "boots-on-the-ground" organizations who know the culture and needs of the communities. They are reputable organizations, and we always have your youth's safety in mind as our first priority on the trip. CAYU has been leading these trips for over 20 years and we have built great connections with these organizations (YWAM Ensenada & Lifeteams in Abbotsford).
Fundraising & Costs - We do have fundraising options available. There is an online portal where online donations can be made, and we also encourage each participant to write a fundraising letter to send to family, friends, churches, etc. We will also have some group fundraisers for youth to participate in. Each donation over $20 will get an income tax receipt, however, due to CRA regulations, donations cannot be refunded if the participant doesn't end up going on the trip. There will be an added cost for travel days, as students will be responsible to buy their own meals (whether flying or driving). Food and accommodations will be provided throughout the rest of the trip.
Packing - A full packing list will be sent out to students prior to the trip, with details about bedding, appropriate clothing, etc.
Faith - These are faith-based trips, but being a Christian is not a prerequisite to attend, and any youth is welcome!
