2000 UUs than in their own congregations. This conference is very much youth planned. The adults on the committee serve as advisors.
Youth organize the planning meetings with elected co-chairs and committee chairs.
The youth themselves plan and lead the three worship services held during the conference. Youth plan over 20 workshops for the weekend with titles such as Vietnamese Spring Roll Making, Shamanism, Barefoot Soccer, and Survival. This year featured a totally new event, a keynote speaker. Both the Icaghowan conference itself and the planning committee are open to youth in seventh through 12 th grade. For the 12 th time in 12 years, on a fall Friday evening approximately 140 UU youth converged on a camp just outside the Twin Cities for a weekend of workshops, worship, and fun.
