General FSY Travel Information

General Youth Travel Information for the 2024 summer:

  • FSY Youth Travel will organize travel arrangements directly with your Stake Young Women’s President.  FSY Coordinating Counsel Representatives and ward representatives should work with the Stake Young Women’s and Young Men’s Presidents to receive information about travel arrangements.
    • Number of youths riding the bus must be finalized 30 days prior to session start date.  Youth who register after that date are not guaranteed a seat on the bus.

      • This timeline is based off airline policies.
      • No chaperones are needed for stakes receiving air transportation.
    • We ask stakes that are being provided travel to make registration a priority.  This will make the process easier and will ensure that all youth are provided travel that need it.
    • Registration must be done before February 15th to ensure a bedspace.
