Our club is finishing up the semester tonight with a Ugly Sweater Christmas party. We begin the night with Christmas cookies, my wonderful wife makes a bunch of cookies and then we let kids decorate them with icing and frosting. We try to keep it clean, but if you are […]

This is just plain cool. A senior in high school made a Facebook event to get his friends to all wear their YL shirts on the same day. Well, it caught on to say the least. When I last checked, 23,000+ people have “accepted” the invite to attend. What other […]
I have yet another great resource from Hugh in North Carolina! In a past post I asked people for their input about weekend camp activities. Hugh mentioned the “Clubble”. The Clubble is Club in a bubble (of course). Basically imagine club in a huge plastic tent blown up by fans. […]
My friend Joey and Alex are trying something this semester I thought would be worth passing along. Like most clubs they have a time each week when they introduce any new kids. In each club they will award one point to either the guys or the girls based on who […]
A good friend of mine sent out an email about camp follow-up with ideas he has collected over the years. I thought they were excellent and wanted to pass them along. What do you do for camp follow-up?
Here is a question a friend of mine would like some feedback on… Would you have club at a fast food place? Would you have it there once? Would you have it there for an entire semester? What would be the pros/cons? If you’ve done it, any recommendations? Any funny […]
My friend Robert sent these games along. You may have seen some before, but Robert has added in some fun tweaks to them. Thanks Robert! … We do something called ugly baby where we pull pantyhose off of kids heads, but we put bibs and diapers on the contestants as […]

When I was a senior in high school, the staff guy training me told me to learn guitar for club. Whenever he told me to do something I did it. So I went out and taught myself guitar. After a little practice I was playing guitar at club, campaigners and […]
I hope you’ve enjoyed what we are trying to do at ylhelp.com. One of the founding principles is that we can all benefit from our collective knowledge-base. I have two things in mind I’d like to see grow: subscribers and comments. If those two things can grow, then we all […]
As the summer approaches fast, it is very helpful to look back and think about what we’ve learned. This gives praise to God and all that He has done. It is also being a good steward of our time, there is no reason we should keep repeating the same mistakes […]
I have to be honest. I’ve never seen one episode of Hannah Montana. But I know that it is crazy popular. What does YL do with silly trendy pop stars… we make mock skits of them of course. With Summer Camp around the corner, let me suggest the following idea […]
