COVID-19 Information for CPYC 2022.
Please read information below regarding CPYC 2022 and Covid-19 prior to registering for CPYC 2022.
I understand that there are unique risks associated with participation at CPYC 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I understand that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) states that the best way to prevent COVID-19 is to avoid being exposed to the coronavirus. I acknowledge that the virus is thought to spread from person-to-person, between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. I also acknowledge that the CDC states that recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.
I further understand that there may be risks associated with CPYC 2022 and related activities. These risks include, but are not limited to, contracting COVID-19, exposure to individuals who have contracted COVID-19, and being required to self-isolate away from other CPYC participants, Trip Leaders, and staff. I understand that the CDC states that contracting COVID-19 may lead to severe illness or death. I assume any and all risks, whether known or unknown, related to participation in the CPYC and related activities.
I further agree by registering for CPYC 2022 I will follow all guidelines related to COVID-19 provided by CPYC. At this time the CPYC director and critical response team are monitoring coronavirus situation and will have additional updates if needed.
CPYC encourages all participants (adults and students) to be vaccinated for Covid-19 prior to attending this summer.
Cost for participant registration:
Early bird participant registration: $275 (before May 31st)
Late participant registration: $350 (after May 31st)
Special Adult participant registration: $175 *one adult participant per attending church
Most of our participants (students and adults) at CPYC come with a group (church/group of churches/presbytery) so we have set up a group registration process for this year. If you are a group leader looking to start group registration process contact Nathan Wheeler nwheeler@cumberland.org.
If you are a student looking to register and you are coming with a youth group contact your youth leader or pastor to see if they have registration info for you. If not you can click on button below (next to donate button) or by contact Nathan Wheeler nwheeler@cumberland.org

CPYC Staff Invites
Every year CPYC invites adults to join alongside the YMPC to help staff CPYC. The process begins in the Fall of previous CPYC year and ends with finalizing staff in the spring of the year of the upcoming CPYC. This schedule looks like:
November & December
Compile names from DMT Staff, YMPC, and past volunteers for CPYC staff
January
Invite staff
March
Finalize staff
Every year we try to invite not only people who have served in the past but also leave room for new staff members to join us. With that means there are times that long time CPYC staff or newer staff may not be invited to be staff that year. We hope that adults who want to join but aren’t invited as staff that summer will consider helping their local church by being a chaperone/volunteer or be an adult participant for that summer. If you have any questions about this process or would like to be considered to be staff for CPYC contact Nathan Wheeler nwheeler@cumberland.org

Welcome all CPYC Alumni!!!
For almost 100 years CPYC (formally YPGA/NACPYF) has gathered young people in the CPC & CPCA to deepen their faith in Jesus Christ, love for the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and create a space for Faith, Fun, and Fellowship.
We are excited to formally begin our CPYC Alumni Association that we hope will continue deepening the roots that were established by our connections and love of CPYC and for the sustainability of CPYC long into the future.
The membership into the Alumni Association will not only provide funding that will go towards the future of CPYC but also towards building our CPYC Alumni. We hope that in future years we will be able to host CPYC Alumni events including a 100 year celebration in 2023, a table top book on the history of CPYC, creating a CPYC Alumni mentoring program and more. We will also be creating exclusive CPYC Alumni merchandise including a free gift for your membership into the CPYC Alumni Association.
