The Presbyterian Young People's Society (PYPS) is a fantastic organization that brings youth of the ages 14 to 25 together to worship, learn, and play. PYPS provides great events for young people - created by young people. There are three or four weekend retreats (and one day events) packed with guest speakers, music, fun activities, and fellowship. It’s something you definitely want to be a part of!
