CHAPTER ONE

introduction

the summer of 2002 marked the 2626th anniversary of the youth camp especially for

youth better known as EFY over 34000 teenagers from across the united states canada

and several foreign countries gathered on thirty one different college campuses to attend one of

the sixty four sessions of the five day program 1 since the first session in 1976 especially for

youth has enjoyed steady increases in attendance and popularity beginning in the early 1980s

the programs success reached the point that applicants were turned away because there was not

enough space to house all those who wanted to attend 2

what is especially for youth today

especially for youth is a summer camp with a religious emphasis designed especially for

1 especially for youth is often perceived as a program held only at brigham young university BYUyet only about one sixth of the sessions in 2002 were held on the BYU provo campus A list ofvarious campusesand the number of sessions held in 2002 follows BYU provo utah 11 BYU idaho rexburgredburgRexburg 7 southern virginiauniversity buena vista 5

teenage members of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints young men and young

women ages 141814 18 are eligible to attend generally speaking each session has a ratio of 55

girls 45 boys session ratios are largely determined by dormitory space registration materials

for especially for youth describe a carefully balanced program of classes and activities just for

seminary age youth 3 those who register to attend must agree to abide by the brigham young

university BYU honor code while attending the camp the weeks activities are centered on a

scriptural theme intended to generate excitement for the seminary curriculum to be studied in the

fall following the program each session includes over 15 hours of classroom instruction and

devotionalsdevotionals outdoor recreation activities dances a service project a variety show and a

testimony meeting at the end of the week each youth leaves especially for youth with a

program t shirt a compact disc of music written especially for the program and a book written by

selected especially for youth teachers on a variety of religious topics

administration

especially for youth is administered by church educational system CES youth and

family programs a department within the BYU division of continuing education the

relationship between BYU continuing education and the church educational system stems from

a 1972 decision by CES commissioner ofeducation neal A maxwell the division had been

successful in so many of its programs that commissioner maxwell decided some of the divisions

3 httphcebyueduypefyindexhtmlhttpcebyueduypefyindexhtml

functions should be regarded as CES programs rather than BYU programs 4 As a consequence

the division of continuing education is unique in that the dean of continuing education has a

dual reporting line in matters relating to CES programs the dean reports to the CES

administrator over religious education and elementary and secondary education in matters

involving other departments such as conferences and workshops travel study and evening

classes he reports to the president ofBYU thus while especially for youth falls under the

CES umbrella it is administered by employees of the division of continuing education at

brigham young university

faculty

approximately 140 faculty about 70 ofwhom are full time CES seminary teachers or

BYU religious education instructors taught classes at especially for youth in 2002 5 the

majority of the faculty live along the wasatch front and many travel to EFY venues outside of

utah often referred to as regional sessions CES faculty who reside in or near the areas where

regional sessions are held are also hired when willing and available all EFY faculty submit an

outline for each of their lectures to the materials evaluation review committee part of the

churchschurche correlation committee for clearance every class taught at EFY is evaluated by

selected participants and counselors completed evaluations are reviewed by program

administrators each year in an effort to ensure doctrinal purity and to maintain quality teaching

supervision youth counselors

the youth who participate are housed in the student dormitories and are supervised by

college age counselors hired from among brigham young university students and institute of

religion students across the country participants are divided into groups of about 10 to 16 and

are assigned a counselor who boards with them in the dormitory over 1500 applications were

received for counselor positions in 2001 and a little over 650 were hired 6 counselors participate

in several training sessions during the spring to prepare for the summer in addition to providing

supervision and direction to the youth counselors are expected to serve as visible and

approachable examples ofgospel living to whom the youth can relate each evening counselors

present a devotional from a set curriculum on fundamental topics like the plan of salvation the

fall and the atonement each morning following breakfast and a devotional the counselors

conduct scripture study sessions with their group counselors are also expected to attend and

evaluate classes with the participants help serve lunches usher and perform other duties

connected with the program

organization

to fully appreciate the impact of individual counselors and administrators on the EFY

program it is essential to understand the organizational structure in greater detail As mentioned

above especially for youth is administered by the BYU division of continuing education which

is presided over by a dean within the division are various departments each with a chair who

reports to the dean the department which coordinates and administers especially for youth is

called CES youth and family programs working under the department chair are several full

time administrators with duties involving scheduling faculty and program administration the

head counselors are normally BYU students hired each fall and employed throughout the school

year in preparation for the program to be held the following summer 7 the building counselors

preside over the youth counselors in their building or dormitory and also assist in administrative

duties during the week the youth counselors supervise a group of approximately 10 to 16

youth attendees each session youth counselors more than any other continuing education

administrators have the most one on one contact with the youth who attend and are thus

perceived to be the primary factor in the success of the program head counselors building

counselors and youth counselors generally speaking work throughout the entire summer at

numerous sessions

unique to each individual session is the codirectorco director also referred to as a session

director co directors are typically chosen to serve for one session during the year from among

previous EFY faculty the co directors serve as a counselor to the counselors presenting a

kickoff address to the counselors at the beginning of the session giving talks to the youth

making calls to parents ofEFY participants if there are any problems and generally presiding

over the session

the administrative structure ofEFY has evolved somewhat from its inception to the

present and the names of many of the intermediate positions have been changed but the

7 many different titles have been used to describe this position such as program administratorprogram coordinator counselor director and director the author has chosen to use the designation head

counselor throughout this thesis since it was the most commonly used term during the period of this study

5

fundamental organization has remained consistent over the last twentyfivetwenty five years 8

CIIAPTERCHAPTER TWO

methodology

research problems

documenting the history ofofefyafefyEFY is difficult for three reasons first during the late 1970s

the attitude of the leadership of the BYU division of continuing education was that the division

existed to provide adult education programs the word continuing as it relates to continuing

education is generally understood to mean education beyond a formal degree thus youth

programs were perceived by some as external to the divisions most important purpose for this

reason ronald C hills the continuing education administrator who created especially for

youth in 1976 deliberately underreported the growth and success of the program after the first

three years to protect it from being cancelled or scaled back 9

second published histories of continuing education do not go beyond the year 1973 and

the inaugural session ofespecially for youth took place three years later in the summer of 1976 010o

some information is contained in the continuing education annual reports but they are typically

limited to brief statistical references hills recalled that a few boxes of papers containing

information about EFY were submitted to the records management office in hopes that they

might be archived hills recalled that the records office eventually informed the youth programs

office that they saw no reason to archive much of the material 11 the current chair of records

management agrees that because the retention period is long past the early records concerning

especially for youth were probably destroyed 12

third the department itself did not keep an official history until 199319941993 1994 susan V

overstreet a department secretary who served with the youth programs since 1980 and who also

served as the department chair ofcesofiesof CES youth and family programs from february 1994 to july

2000 remarked that most of the early history ofespecially for youth exists only in peoples

heads 13

sources

the main source of information about the first several years ofespecially for youth has

CHAPTER THREE

the first session ofespecially for youth 1976

1976 program description

ronald C hills created especially for youth in 1976 at that time hills was a full time

administrator in special courses and conferences 1 one of the departments within BYU

continuing education hills intention was to create an education week for teenagers where

youth could interact with other young people from various places in the country rather than just

with those from their own ward or stake as is typical with a standard youth conference 2

1976 session date

the first session ofespecially for youth was scheduled for july 192319 23 1976

1976 enrollment

hills anticipated enrollment of about 500 youth and was disappointed to see the deadline

day for registrations approaching with only 147 enrolled hills briefly considered cancelling the

program but a packet of 25 registrations arrived on the deadline day and the decision was made

1 the department under which especially for youth originated was called special courses andconferences in 1978 its name was changed to conferences and workshops and for a time programs within thatdepartment involving young people were informally referred to as youth religion programs in 1982 a newdepartment was formed called CES youth and family programs with ronald C hills as the chair

1976 basic agenda

no program agendas could be located for the first session ofofefyafefyEFY A 1976 brigham

young university summer youth programs brochure describes especially for youth as a week

long program of classesseminarsclasses seminars on youth related concerns with recreation and

entertainment 5 while especially for youth could be called a recreational camp from the

outset it always had a religious and educational emphasis

1976 faculty

hills wanted to find competent teachers who could instruct the youth during the day so he

contacted paul warnerwamer a CES employee and a seminary pre service instructor at BYU to help

identify potential faculty paul wamerwarner contacted joe J christensen associate commissioner for

seminaries and institutes for approval approval was granted and letters were sent to selected

teachers who were invited to participate the letter to potential faculty began

approval has been granted by joe J christensen to involve a select group ofseminar teachers in a new summer program just for youth the program will lastone week july 192319 23 and will consist of a whole series ofofonecofoneone or two hourpresentations of topics that young people are vitally interested in it will be held

we would be pleased if you would accept our invitation to be part of this new offering and

present six lectures or workshops during the four day program the honorarium would be100 for the six hours of presentation we will attempt to schedule each speaker daily for

three hours on two consecutive days we anticipate an audience ofbetween 50 and 100

youth at each class presentation with about 10 classes for students to choose from eachhour with students ranging in age from 14 through 18 6

for the eleven years involved in this study the front cover of the program agendas for especially

for youth sessions included this sentence sponsored jointly by seminaries and institutes and

church continuing education

journal entries of a youth participant in 1976 indicate there were at least fourteen

teachers and two devotional speakers at the first session exact numbers are unknown since there

may be faculty the participant did not hear during the week the list of faculty and the classes

they taught appear in the 1976 historical data section at the end of this chapter 7

todd B parker a faculty member in 1976 recalls that jemJefjeffreymireyfirey R holland also participated

in the first session ofofefyafefyEFY as a banquet speaker on thursday evening in room 396 of the

wilkinson center 8

included the responsibility to accompany the youth to classes provide general supervision at all

the activities and conduct an evening prayer at the close of the day 11 counselors stayed in the

CHAPTER FOUR

1977 two sessions and five times as many youth

1977 program description

1977 session dates

the 1977 program was split into two five day sessions one of the two sessions in 1977

was held july 252925 29 the dates of the other session are unknown renae north who began her

employment with BYU central scheduling in 1972 and who currently serves as manager of

central scheduling reported that records from the mid to late seventies were not stored on a

computer database and have probably been destroyed her educated guess is that both 1977

sessions were held in july 1 since the pattern for several years after 1977 was to separate

especially for youth sessions by one week the author suspects that the first 1977 session was

held from july I11115111- 15

1977 enrollment

the second annual especially for youth enjoyed more than a 500 increase in

enrollments the 197619771976 1977 annual report recorded the program especially for youth which

operates on an education week format brought 863 high school students to campus 2

1977 basic agenda

the bulk of the daytime hours ofespecially for youth consists of classroom instruction

following a morning devotional in which all participants are expected to attend each individual is

allowed to choose from a number of class offerings

unique to the 1977 sessions3 were assembly classes held on tuesday and friday

afternoon in which all the youth like the devotional assemblies were expected to attend

together another event unique to the 1977 sessions was the scripture chase competition the

complete agenda for the july 252925 29 1977 session appears in the 1977 historical data section at

the end of this chapter

1977 faculty

As mentioned above only the july 252925 29 program agenda was available for examination

the july 252925 29 program agenda lists thirty three faculty twenty three of which 70 were

teachers or administrators in the church educational system the names of individual faculty

their CES assignments or occupations at the time of their involvement with EFY and the classes

they presented during the session are listed in the 1977 historical data section at the end of this

chapter

1977 counselors

many details about the 1977 sessions are unknown it is not known how many youth

3 this assumes that the other 1977 session agenda was identical to the july 252925 29 session the programagenda for the other 1977 session could not be located

17

were enrolled in each of the two sessions and it is unknown who served as the head counselors

and youth counselors As mentioned above total enrollment at EFY in 1977 was 863 assuming

that each session enrolled about half that number or 431 youth and if the counselor to participant

ratio was equivalent to the 1976 ratio about fourteen youth for each counselor we suspect that

approximately thirty one counselors were hired for 1977

1986 significant events

the year 1986 is significant in the early history of especially for youth because it is the

first year that a session of especially for youth was held away from BYU campus the 1985-

1986 annual report stated

the first ever session of especially for youth held away from the campus took place atsan diego state university june 232623 26 1986 in spite of some special challenges of anunfamiliar and somewhat worldly environment EFY was able to come close toreplicating the same experience and spirit of the campus programs for the almost 400participants mostly from the southern california area the week provided them withsocial and spiritual experiences that will help them better cope with the challenges theyface youth leaders and the youth themselves are asking for an annual EFY in southerncalifornia as a result of this first try 3

during the san diego session the thursday night fireside speaker ron williams

unexpectedly cancelled kenneth cope one of the counselors who was already scheduled to

present a morning devotional that week volunteered to present the fireside as well his fireside

was so well received that the head counselors decided to have kenneth cope do the thursday

night firesides for the rest of the summer

in keeping with the theme lovin life the EFY information booth was dubbed the

lifeboat and the counselor classes were called the lifesaversLifesavers the annual report also

noted

emphasis the earliest available information shows classroom time for the week at 21 hours in

1986 hours spent in classroom time was approximately 16 hours 45 minutes by examining

program agendas and other sources it is possible to determine the approximate hours of classroom

instruction at EFY which appears below

1976 1440 minutes or 24 hours1977 1260 minutes or 21 hours1978 1110 minutes or 19 hours1979 940 minutes or 15 hours 40 minutes1980 940 minutes1981 940 minutes1982 880 minutes or 14 hours 40 minutes1983 830 minutes or 13 hours 50 minutes1984 880 minutes of 14 hours 40 minutes1985 1005 minutes or 16 hours 45 minutes1986 1005 minutes or 16 hours 45 minutes

minutes in class do not include thursday night firesides which began in the last three

sessions of 1983 and continued through 1986 or counselor devotionalsdevotionals in the dormitories at the

faculty

during the years of the study not fewer than 1853 classes were taught involving at least

166 teachers some classes were taught by two or more teachers

the impact ofofcesofiesCES teachers on especially for youth from 197619861976 1986 is significant the

145

majority ofofefyafefyEFY faculty or 105 of the 166 documented teachers 63 were CES teachers or

administrators however CES teachers taught 84 of all documented classes or 1557 of the

1853 documented classes during the first eleven years ofofefyafefyEFY by contrast only 16 of the

documented classes taught at EFY from 1976 1986 were taught by non CES faculty A

complete list of the documented faculty who taught from 1976 to 1986 and the number of

documented classes they taught appears in appendix B

all of the ten most frequently used faculty were men and all were employees or

administrators in the church educational system these ten teachers represent only 6 of all

teachers but they taught over a third or 38.6386386 7161853 of all documented classes from 1976-

counselors

counselor lists have been located for 1979 1980 1984 1985 1986 and appear in the

historical data sections of the preceding chapters partial lists exist for 1978 1981 1982 and

1983 it is unknown who served as counselors in the first two years 197619771976 1977

conclusion

this thesis has examined especially for youth from its beginnings until 1986 compiling

the history ofofefyafefyEFY is definitely a work in process there is much to be done but in light of the

impact ofofefyafefyEFY on thousands ofyoung latter day saints it ought to be done what began as a

very small summer camp has become a force within the church stanley A peterson CES

administrator religious education and elementary and secondary education spoke to the EFY

counselors and staff in march of 2000 and counseled

what a responsibility and yet what an opportunity you have to bless 25000 youngpeople this summer do it well will you you have built a wonderful reputationover the years that one of the finest things that can happen to young people is to goto EFY keep that reputation going 2

obviously the next step in research would be to document the years from 1987 to the

present there are enough journal keeping former EFY counselors to make it possible and CES

youth and family programs is much better at keeping records since especially for youth

counselors have a greater impact on the youth than anything else at EFY 3 it would also be

worthwhile to have counselor names documented and recorded

perhaps ofgreater value than this thesis will be the archive created in the BYU library

the source material in the archive will allow for more focused studies and will also provide a

place to archive new information as it becomes available also in an effort to locate more

information about EFY I1 have purchased the internet domain name wwwefyhistoryorg which I1

hope will become a place where former EFY participants and counselors can submit information

about EFY and fill in some of the gaps within this thesis

especially for youth is not without its critics oddly enough some of its harshest critics

are CES teachers and administrators many EFY teachers over the years have commented that

their CES associates those with whom they work at their seminary or institute view the EFY

program as all fun and the EFY teaching as all fluff whether these comments come from actual

experience or just perceptions and prejudices has always been a question in my mind one of the

most interesting findings for me personally was that 84 of all documented classes taught at EFY

during the period of this study were taught by CES teachers and that every one of the top ten

most frequently used faculty were also CES teachers oddly enough EFYs main critic is also its

main supplier of teachers EFY has responded well to constructive criticism over the years and it

might be interesting in the future to conduct a survey of CES teachers and administrators today to

see ifperceptions are changing certainly the statement above from stanley A peterson is

evidence that at least some top CES administrators have viewed EFY as a blessing to the youth of

3 of the youth participants responding to the survey 7711 said their counselor was the most influentialaspect of the program see kawai leslie A organizational study of CES youth and family programsdecember 1997 22 document in possession ofofgregofgrengreg tanner director CES youth and family programs 197harman continuing education building BYU provo utah 84602 8011378296980113782969.8011378801 37829693782969.378 2969

the church that was the intent of ronald C hills from the beginning and of every EFY teacher

and administrator I1 contacted while doing this research the real evidence of the impact ofEFY is

much more difficult to measure and that is the changes that occur in the lives of thousands of

young people counselors and participants alike
