Any student entering grades 10-12 in the following school year.

YLDC is held at Trine University in Angola, IN.

This year, YLDC is July 20 – 25th.

Delegates live in the new dorms at Trine University, where each of them will have a roommate selected by staff.

Of course! In addition to rec time daily, delegates have numerous opportunities for free time throughout the week, including a morning running group and a variety show, where we encourage delegates to bring instruments!

With a few exceptions, it is the responsibility of the delegate and the delegate's family to provide their own means of transportation to YLDC. Delegates may drive themselves if able.

There is generally a delegate to staff ratio of 4-5:1.

We have trained staff and a full med kit available for incidental issues—scraped knees and such. If any emergency arises, staff will transport delegate to the local hospital.

While we ask delegates to refrain from using electronics during sessions and activities, we have no restrictions on them carrying their devices at any time. In addition, we have WiFi access and a computer lab that is available for use during rec time.

We have staff members in charge of security that work with Trine Campus Safety to ensure that all dorms are locked, and that all delegates are in a safe environment at all times.

Only as much as they see fit. While there is a bookstore on campus for souvenirs, as well as the opportunity to order pizza, delegates should have no need for money aside from the $25 materials fee (for their binder and T-Shirt) at YLDC.

Certainly! The Trine cafeteria offers a wide selection to fit any dietary concerns.

While we would naturally prefer that delegates are able to attend for the entire week, we are able to work around any scheduling conflicts.
