RoundUp 2023

Mark your calendars for May 21-27, 2023!  Want to register? Curious for a bit more information? Contact Ana at aicarvalho@york.edu ​ or 402-363-5621.
 

​RoundUp is a week-long retreat for those (approximately) 55 and up. It’s Bible camp and a mini-term as a YU student rolled into one. We’ll have devotionals,  activities, and a variety of classes--but no tests or term papers!

​Call up your best friends and invite them to join you on campus or come on your own and make a slew of new friends. It's a welcoming and fun week where you'll enjoy activities, theme dinner (costumes optional), and talent show. You won't want to miss it!

For alumni, RoundUp is a chance to have a Super Reunion! Gather your classmates and relive the York experience. You'll feel the years roll back as you move into the dorms with your friends, eat in the cafeteria, and go to classes taught by YU faculty members. It's a great time to reconnect on the York University campus, without all the busyness of Homecoming. You'll enjoy moonlit strolls across campus without any worries about curfew.

2023 Theme and Classes

Dr. Tim McNeese will present the theme lecture A New Birth of Freedom: The Rise of Abraham Lincoln and York University President, Dr. Sam Smith, will be teaching our Bible class. We will also be bringing back our beloved field trip! See the schedule below for a list of all the classes and activities we will enjoy together.
