AYC 2024 will be hosted entirely at the Hilton Americas in Downtown Houston. Parents are responsible for both drop off and pick up of their teen(s).
AYC is an incredible opportunity for teens to grow in their faith life while surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of like minded teens. This expereince can transform a teen's life for years to come. If you give AYC a chance, I promise you won't be disappointed.
