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 […]
We just finished being a part of four weekend camps for our area! They were great, the Lord did amazing things. I also recently posted about using cabin time questions at weekend camp. We require every leader to go through leadership training to be a leader and then we do […]
I recently spoke at a YL weekend camp. One of the best pieces of YL camp speaking advice I ever received was to plan your cabin time questions before you plan your talk. Obviously you tweak them after you study the scripture and the rest of the talk planning process, […]
At summer camp we get to hear from some great speakers who are gifted, experienced and who have put a lot of time, prayer and study into the messages. It would be great if we could list some of the best illustrations or examples that we heard in the club […]

The “This Year…” series looks back at lessons learned in the past year of YL. It will feature several posts and guest posts. Here is one from my friend Dougie in Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island, Canada… We have been working with some higher risk students through contact work and they […]

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?
