To Our Parents
We know that, as a parent, you are the primary educator and nurturer of your child. We want your teen’s life to be transformed in Christ. The parents of our participants notice many benefits of our conferences for their teens including:
- Developing a sense of God in their daily life- Integrating prayer into their daily lives
- More positive self-image
- Greater sense of direction and purpose
- More interest in their faith-life
- Forming genuine friendships based on a common love of Christ
Your child will be under the care and guidance of our trained summer staff. This includes our Director of Youth Outreach, the Summer Conferencing Specialist, Chaplain, and a team of Benedictine College students who spend their summer on mission for our Lord. We want you to know that your child is in the best possible hands, and we know it is our duty and privilege to guide your teen as an individual this summer.
Safety and Supervision
Benedictine College’s campus is very safe. We are familiar with hosting teens on our campus through our many faith and sport-based conferences, and strive to make our campus a welcoming, safe community for all of our visitors. Every aspect of the campus in the summers is thought of with the visitor in mind specifically:
- Our dorms are single sex. Men aren’t allowed in the women’s dorms and vice versa during the summer months. No one other than our Conferencing Staff, Summer Missionaries, and other authorized members of the college will be in the dorms during your teen’s stay.
- Summer Missionaries stay in the residence Halls and serving as resident advisors.
- All of our Summer Ministry Staff are Virtus trained and are up to date with the Archdiocese of Kansas City Kansas’ regulations on Safe Environment training for the protection of God’s children program.
- Campus Security, Atchison Police, and the Atchison Fire Department all serve the campus community.
“My favorite parts of BCYC would be making new friends and growing closer to Christ through them, going to Adoration, and all the fun activities we did!”
