Activities & Events

Local & Regional Activities for UofP Teens

Local. There is only so much time in a class setting to get acquainted and learn about one another, so we offer Unity of Phoenix teens local activities to help them discover who they are and bond together.

Local activities not only help to create a bond between the teens, but also provide a place for parents to connect. It’s a great way to build community. There are basic attendance requirements that a teen needs to meet in order to participate in these events.

Peer Ministry Retreat in Las Vegas
Region is made up of Unity Church’s in Arizona, southern Nevada and southern California.

Regional. Students in grades 6-12 are invited to participate in our Uniteen or Y.O.U. program. Those actively involved in good standing in our Teen Group qualify to participate in local and Southwest Region retreats, camps and conferences with teens from other Unity groups.

Costs. Out-of-pocket costs range from $3-20 for a local outing or $12-30 for an overnight event, to $75-125 for a weekend retreat/rally and $300-450 for Uniteen Camp or Y.O.U. Summer Connections or about $600 for The International Conference.

We believe that a teen who has shown a commitment to their spiritual growth should not miss out on important retreats. To help support that if an event still poses a financial challenge, please check with the Teen Ministry Coordinator to see if event fees can be waived or scholarship money is available.

Pool parties and water park fun, movies, festivals, bowling and skating, summer camps, overnight outings . . .
