I want to registerSession directing couple
We are so excited as we look forward to spending time with you next Summer, knowing that you will develop new friendships and grow in faith.
During FSY we will be exploring the 2022 Youth Theme which is:
"Trust in the Lord, with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
We love these invitations to come to know the Saviour and trust in Him. This is something that has blessed our lives and we are eager to create experiences that support you to better understand what it means to have Him direct your path and shape your future.
We know that the Saviour loves you and has invited you to be part of His work because He believes and trusts in you. We love Him with all of our hearts. We promise that you will have an unforgettable adventure at FSY.
We can't wait to be with you
Love,
Jared and Katie

Costs and payment
Costs
The participant fee for FSY is £ 75-.
This covers food, accommodation and all conference materials (manual, music, T-shirt, Tote bag...).
According to the number of active youth in a stake, the Area Office retains a portion of the allocated LUBA amount each quarter to help fund FSY conferences.
Youth or their families respectively will only have to pay £ 75-.
This also applies to the youth who are not members of the Church, but attend on the invitation of their friends from invited stakes/districts. Those youth are also included in the bus transport.
Youth from other stakes/districts have to organise and pay for their own journeys.
FSY is for all youth in the eligible age group.
We recognise that individual family circumstances will vary and we do not want FSY attendance to present a financial burden to any family or individual regardless of the number of children they have wishing to attend.
Families and individuals should work together with their Bishop to find a solution allowing all youth to attend.
If you need any further help or advice, please contact your FSY Administrators.
£75- for each participant of the invited stakes/districts should be paid into the ward/branch bank account BEFORE THE BISHOP/BRANCH PRESIDENT SIGNS THE REGISTRATION FORM.
Participants, including non-member youth from outside invited stakes, will pay the full amount of £330-. The session administrators will contact you about how to do this.
