Join the Young Democratic Socialists for an unforgettable summer weekend of socialist politics, activist workshops, swimming, pick-up sports, partying and much more.  Due to popular demand, we will continue to hold the conference at a country retreat center in the Catskill Mountains, in up-state New York.  We'll get away from the distractions of day to day life, relax and get to know each other.   

Each summer conference is a critical event for YDS.  It is where we elect our coordinating committee (our volunteer leadership), debate and vote on the coming year's national Activist Agenda (YDS’ official national priorities) and develop strategies for another year of successful activism.  This conference will be especially important because it will be the first time we review our progress on the strategic plan we adopted last year. Members and friends will be coming from across the country; you don't want to miss out!  

You can check out the retreat center, Valley Brook Inn, online.  Registration and a conference page will be up shortly.  Housing and meals are covered in your registration.  If you have any questions, feel free to email YDS at yds@dsausa.org and we’ll get back to you ASAP!
