Our area does a lot of Work Crew weekend trips. We have a YL camp two hours away, so not only do we help at YL camps, we sometimes do Work Crew at non-YL camps also. The typical tension I’ve seen on Work Crew is work vs. spiritual experience. There […]
We sold our house and are looking to move closer to the school where we do club. It is a lifelong dream to live super-close to the school. We want our house to be a hub of club, campaigners, Friday night football tailgate parties, … you get the idea. We […]
Here are a couple links from my friend Andi who is on staff in NorCal. www.biblemap.org A very cool Google map organized by Bible book, chapter and verse, "It would be great for campaigners". www.bibleplan.org Lots of leaders have never read through the Bible, but want to. This can help […]
We have had such a hard time with campaigners over the years. With the busyness of kids and leaders it is so hard to get another night out of them. I know lots of clubs fight through this and win (even the club right down the street from us). Yet, […]

I just stumbled across these… Looks like a beach ball that has questions on them. Might be useful for a campaigners meeting? Maybe an all-area leadership or even at camp in a leaders meeting? I’m thinking about getting one. Has anyone ever used one? (Click the picture for the link)
Here is a simple handout you can use for Campaigners. It is basically the section on love in 1 Corinthians broken down for reflection. I used it and it provoked some interesting questions, especially the “not” statements. Here it is: campaigners-lesson-gods-love-for-us-1-cor-13.pdf
Sometimes you need to mix it up for campaigners. Here’s an idea: Use the attached “faces” handout (one of those sheets with different emotions on faces…) and ask your campaigners any of these questions: Personally How do you feel today? How does your relationship with your parents feel right now? […]
