YSA Summit a fun, affordable way of socializing
Young Single Adults and the leaders who plan events for them are on the same page when it comes to why they attend activities: socializing.
This weekend marks the annual YSA Summit for Mormon 18 to 31-year-olds in the Riverton, Kearns, West Jordan, South Jordan and Taylorsville regions. At Saturday's activity which featured water games and carnival attractions, YSAs and organizers alike commented on how great getting-to-know-you activities are for the demographic.
"The purpose is for the Young Single Adults to mix and mingle," said Matthew Brown, a YSA on the organizing committee of the summit being held in Herriman and Salt Lake.
About 1,350 young people were expected to attend the three-day summit, which began July 31 with a comedy show and dinner, and will conclude with a fireside devotional by Alex Boye on Aug. 2.
"These kinds of activities help form relationships that bind," Brown said.
