Discover Youth Theology Institute

Catawba Youth Theology Institute (DISCOVER) began as a Lilly Foundation
Grant to instill within youth a hunger and excitement for learning about faith and
vocation through a camp program. Starting in the summer of 2025, Discover
partnered with four United Church of Christ camps to train up eight college students to
serve as Discover Fellows.

Going back to the legacy of Pastor Porter Seiwell, a former chaplain at Catawba
who promoted Catawba through his ministry at summer camps, we are excited
to continue partnerships with these United Church of Christ camps: 

As Discover Fellows, students will be leading faith formation at camps through
worship, Bible Study, and ministry with campers.

We hope you will continue to follow along with us on this journey and maybe
even explore camp with some of our partners this summer!

Do you want to be part of the next summer of Discover?
Check back in November to apply to be one of our 2026 Discover Fellows.
