Most new delegates at OYP arrive knowing few people or sometimes none at all. But meeting new people is far from scary; often before delegates even reach the host church, they have been introduced into the Parliamentary experience and easily made friends. By the end of the weekend complete strangers become close friends, and connections are made that last a lifetime.

Social events occur throughout the weekend. Beyond the daily debates and spiritual reflection, delegates attend a theme dance on Saturday night and a formal dinner and dance on Sunday night.

Love games, which are group activities, are interspersed throughout the weekend keep delegates active and interacting. Delegates are also invited to strut their stuff at a talent show before the theme dance on Saturday.

At OYP, we make every effort to create the most dynamic group atmosphere possible, and design our weekend to be a powerful social experience for each and every delegate. Every year, strong friendships are forged and never forgotten.
