Location: Carnesecca Arena at St. John’s University
Steubenville NYC will take place on the campus of St. John’s University in Queens, New York. Only minutes from Manhattan by car, bus or train, the 105-acre Queens campus offers a traditional university environment in the world’s most dynamic city. SJU’s Queens campus features broad lawns, handsome stone buildings and ultramodern student residence halls. Combining urban excitement with suburban tranquility, the campus is located in a leafy, residential area of one of the five boroughs, or counties, that make up New York City. Meals will take place at dining halls on campus and housing will be in various dorms on campus. Once you arrive on campus, parking officials will guide your group to registration. Follow this link for a map of the campus to help with planning.
Who can attend Steubenville NYC?
Youth participants must be age 18 or younger and incoming freshman through just graduated seniors. All chaperones must be 21 years of age or older. Since it is a high school youth conference, young adults ages 19 & 20 who wish to attend the conference should apply to volunteer at the conference as they cannot be registered with a group.

Where will we stay?
Conference participants will stay in dorms on campus.
What if a priest is accompanying my group?
Life Teen Steubenville Atlanta highly encourages priest participation. Priests are a wonderful witness and their presence helps young people consider this great vocation. We are greatly in need of priests during the conference to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Remember their registration fee is free and that a Statement of the Ordinary/Provincial form is required.
How many adults need to come?
The required chaperone to youth ratio is 1 chaperone for up to every 8 youth of that same gender. Chaperones must be gender-specific (i.e. if 4 girls and 2 boys are attending, there must be at least 1 female AND 1 male chaperone). Chaperones must be 21 years of age or older and provide proof of completing your Diocesan Safe Environment requirements. No teenagers will be allowed to drive to or from the conference site.
