Next week we are having an All Area Valentines club. In the past we have done lots of fun things along the lines of the “dating game”. Here is something new we are going to try…
A few weeks ago our team met to plan out our clubs for the semester. Some are variations of clubs we have done in the past and others are brand new themes. I will post the clubs as we do them with notes and ideas. But for those of you […]
My friend Amber from Malibu (California, not the resort camp where none of us can ever get assignments, work crew or summer staff at…But I’m not bitter) sent this great club idea along. If you didn’t catch the title, it is a spin on the Man vs. Wild TV show. […]
I love the creativity of YL and WL leaders! My friend Dougie from Canada (eh), and no that dance is not named after him… anyway he had a creative club event. He had his WL kids make a movie together. Below are the plans and resources that he used. Thanks […]

Today is the official kickoff for two of my clubs I lead. Tonight is our big all-area dodgeball tournament. I am doing a new type of talk there, here is one I did before. But in about an hour we will have our WL club which meets after school. The […]
This may be a little too late to use with pumpkins, but you can file this away for next October/November, or it might bring to mind a similar creative idea to do with kids. Erin from Silicon Valley YL sent me this idea and said this…
I realized the other week that we had not done a kidnap club in a long time. So BOOM! Kidnap club was in full effect. We had about 20 new people and used the great Minute to Win it relay that Emma described. It was a ton of fun and […]
