South Texas Youth for Christ

At STYFC Camp, we believe in the power of shared experiences and outdoor challenges to bring young people closer to God. Through our camps and retreats, we create an environment where middle and high school students can grow in faith, create authentic relationships, and experience life-changing moments in nature.

For many students, attending camp is a life-altering opportunity—yet the cost can be a barrier. With your help, we can ensure that no student misses out due to financial need.

This year, we’re working to raise $65,000 to provide scholarships for students who would otherwise be unable to attend camp. Your donation will help us:

The reality is, most of the students we serve need scholarships in order to attend camp. We never want financial barriers to prevent a student from experiencing God and the beauty of nature in such a meaningful way. With your support, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to attend, no matter their financial situation.

Your generous donation will directly impact a student’s life, allowing them to experience the life-changing power of camp, build lifelong relationships, and return home with memories that will last forever.

Who We Are

San Antonio Youth for Christ is a Texas non-denominational, non-profit organization and a 58 year-old charter member of YFC/USA, a non-profit organization that reaches out to 1,240 communities in the United States and over 101 foreign countries. Founded in 1944 by Billy Graham and Torrey Johnson, SAYFC programs extend to schools, low-income housing areas, and juvenile institutions. This ministry was birthed from a weekly prayer meeting held in our city by a concerned group of mothers of teenagers. From that beginning, tens of thousands of young people have participated in SAYFC events and thousands have committed their lives to Christ as we now enter our 58th year of ministry. Although we are charter member of YFC/USA, we receive no funds from our national movement. It is through efforts of our board of directors and generous supporters that we fund our local chapter. Also, our staff is required to raise most of their financial support; however we do subsidize the salaries of our urban workers as it is a challenge to raise support from the communities they serve. Currently, San Antonio Youth for Christ serves 13 schools in San Antonio.
