Thursday brought with it the smell of salt water, the sound of crashing waves, and an influx of IPHC students, leaders, and youth groups! Throughout the day, more than 1,400 people registered as attendees for Youth Quest 2015.

Roll call and sound check for several Fine Arts categories began after lunch, kicking off the Fine Arts Festival for this year. The first segment of Bible Bowl also took place on Thursday afternoon.

On Thursday night, everyone gathered at the Daytona Beach Bandshell decked out in their glow-in-the-dark attire to participate in our Light Up the Night Rally. It wasn’t just any rally, either; it was a glow and foam party! Transform DJs provided the entertainment with their unique, electronic sound.

Opening day of Youth Quest 2015 will go down in the books as one to be remembered!
