All middle school and high school students in grades 7-12 during the present school year are invited to attend.  DCYC requires an official chaperone ratio of 1:7. This means that there must be one Safe Environment cleared and trained chaperone, age 21 or above, for every seven youth registered.  Safe Environment trained Young Adults, age 18-20, may attend as adult leaders, but do not count toward the chaperone ratios unless approved by the Diocesan Youth Office in special circumstances. 

DCYC registration takes place entirely within your parish.*  Group Leaders are designated by each parish, school, or other Catholic youth organization.  Parents or teens should contact their parish priest and or parish group leader for information on how to register.  If there is not a parish group leader, contact Oscar Guzman by e-mail at [email protected] or 806-383-2243 ext. 118 for detailed information on how to registration process without a group.

No, every group leader and their delegation can decide to stay overnight or travel back home. 

Yes, the conference starts on Friday night and builds the foundation for Saturday, but you can just come on Saturday. You can also come for two days, Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is more of a family day since it consists of attending Wonderland Park. Sadly, coming for just one day does not preserve the conference experience.
