Frequently Asked Questions

What is WIYLDE? WIYLDE (Wholly Iowa Youth Leadership and Discipling Event) is designed for youth, grades 9-12. It is a youth ministry leadership workshop. It is an opportunity for young people to grow in their own faith and take that back to their home congregations to provide leadership in the youth ministry program. This is the third year for WIYLDE and we will have several third year students back who will provide peer leadership for the first and second year students.

How do I register? Your pastor or youth leader should be have registration forms on hand. There is a printable registration form on this web site. See above for the link. Our office also has forms which may be obtained by contacting Connie Barclay, Vocation Program Secretary, at (563) 387-1327 or barcco01@luther.edu. Check in will take place Monday, June 23 from noon to 2:00 p.m. at Farwell Hall (lower campus). You will unload and check into your room at that time.

What is the registration fee? The fee is only $99 this year. That is a reduction from previous years because Luther College's "Sense of Vocation" program is underwriting WIYLDE this year. We have suggested to pastors that the church pay $50 and the participant $49, but that is optional. Contact your pastor about what help the church might be able to provide.

What should I bring? The weather will be warm so bring clothing appropriate for that. Please be careful, however, that clothing is appropriate for a church environment. A swim suit is a must, as well as some grubbies that you don't mind getting dirty. Old tennis shoes for tubing down the river are good, too. We will have one or two dress up occasions so bring something you would wear to church. A little spending money for Whippy Dip runs or souvenirs is helpful but all your meals are provided. Bring your Bible, too, for, after all, this is a church related event!

What happens in an emergency? Luther College provides security 24 hours a day so if there are any problems, help is available. Counselors should be contacted immediately. Also, there are dorm personnel on duty for help as needed. Parents, if you need to get ahold of your student during the day, call Connie Barclay in the College Ministries Office at (563) 387-1327. Otherwise, all calls during the evening and night should be directed to (563) 387-2000. There are phone cards for sale in the Luther Book Shop if participants need access to long distance service.
