KYCK is just around the corner and whether it’s your first time or your fifth, a little preparation can go a long way. Here are a few simple ways to get ready for the weekend ahead.
If you’re joining us this month, here are 9 ways to prepare your hearts and minds for KYCK:
1. RSVP for the Saturday Night BBQ
Make the most of your Saturday night and register for the BBQ. It’s a great chance to hang out and support high school Scripture and teachers!
Time: 6.15pm–7pm
Cost: $9 per person (includes 2 sausages + a soft drink)
RSVP here.

2. Get the Playlist on Repeat
Put the KYCK Spotify playlist on repeat and come ready to sing LOUDLY!
3. Make Your KYCK Stycks
Making your KYCK Stycks is all part of the fun and a way to represent your youth group! Find all the guidelines about making your Stycks here.

4. Learn the memory story!
We’re doing things a bit differently this year. Instead of a memory verse, we’re doing a memory story! Start learning it now. Watch the video here or spend some time memorising the graphic so you’re ready to go for the weekend.

5. Start packing!
Start with the essentials: a Bible (physical is best for fewer distractions), a notebook/ your favourite pen to jot down key takeaways, and comfortable clothing suited for the unpredictable mountain weather. Mornings and evenings can be chilly, so layer up with a warm jacket or hoodie. If rain is on the forecast, don’t forget a raincoat or umbrella.
Other handy items? A water bottle to stay hydrated and money if you’re planning to grab food or merch.
6. Pray for God to work powerfully through KYCK
Prayer is powerful, and we’d love you to join us in bringing KYCK before God:
- Pray for those who don’t yet know Jesus, that KYCK would be the place where they come to know Him for the first time.
- Praise God for the 6,000+ youth attending KYCK this year, and pray for safety as everyone travels and gathers in Katoomba.
- Pray that as the gospel is preached, the Spirit would work powerfully. That it would challenge and grow young people to live with eternity in mind.
- Pray for our speakers, Pre, Chris, and Katie, that they would be faithful, clear, and bold as they teach, helping us understand God’s mercy through the book of Jonah.
