What is FSY?

“I bless you to learn more about who you are and what your purpose really is, during this conference.” — Russell M. Nelson, "FSY Intro Video with President Nelson," 2023.

“When I arrived [at FSY], I didn’t have much confidence with people. I didn’t have much of a testimony. But now that I’ve spent some time here, I’ve gained heaps of new friends and my testimony is just so much stronger. I feel the Spirit every time I bear it. I just feel so much better.” —Isaiah

“It’s amazing to know that you’re not alone. We are all here together.” —Lena

Eva’s Story: "I didn’t want to go"

These large events are designed to help you have fun as you apply the gospel in all aspects of your life. At FSY, you will participate in five days of devotionals, classes, and activities which will help you strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ and feel joy and belonging as you live the gospel.

Check out the Week at a Glance page and schedule to see what activities you'll do during each of the days you're at FSY. Parents, these pages are particularly useful for you to know what kinds of questions to ask your youth about their experience!

While at FSY, you will:

Associate with other youth who share your beliefs and develop new friendships
Experience an environment that helps you feel the joy of the gospel
Take part in inspiring devotionals and learn to "Hear Him"
Learn to be a leader and how to better communicate with your friends, parents, and others
Engage in activities that will bolster your self-esteem and increase your confidence
