I can’t believe I am thinking about NEXT YEAR, 2026!!!! Deaf Youth Alive 2025 felt like YESTERDAY!!!
I am emailing about the Deaf Youth Alive retreat coming up on January 9 to 11, 2026! Our guest speaker will be Casey Analco! Save the Date!
This weekend is for tweens to teenagers – 11 years old to 22 years old, deaf/hard of hearing/deafblind/deafdisabled, and codas within the age range of 11 to 22 years old.
This will be our 13th annual DYA retreat, and our first time moving to a different location! We will host it at Spicer, Minnesota. Thank you to Ed & Pam Gleason’s families for being willing to host.
May you help to spread the word to deaf/hard of hearing/deafblind/deafdisabled, and codas that you know who are 11 to 22 years old? 🙂
Thank you!

Now, for the Deaf Youth Alive website – I want to copy Deaf Encountering Christ (DEC) website – with group pictures of each session.
https://deafdec.org/# – main page.
https://deafdec.org/gallery/ – that’s the group pictures of each session.
Now – this can be on the main page or… whatever you feel is right. I will use this as a guide of who went to which session.
