Kate Nelson recently shared this idea from their club. They created a poster board bus and every time someone signs up for summer camp, their picture gets added. Don’t start this until you have at least a handful of signups as it will backfire and kids will think no one is going, so they won’t go. Once you…
Today’s guest post is written by Eric Decker, a volunteer leader in Milwaukee, WI and a first-year student at Marquette University. You can follow him on Twitter @edecks. Sorry, ladies, but Eric does NOT play professional football for the Denver Broncos. Two summers ago, right before I was set to start my senior year of high school, I…
This week, on Tuesday March 6th, Oreo cookies turn 100 years old. I know, its hard to believe, they still look so young, so fresh, so organic. What better excuse do you need to bring back a few of the most classic Young Life games of all time? You could also celebrate the night by asking some parents…
A few Young Life leaders in our area we’re hanging at our house last night and had an impromptu brainstorm session of how to initiate new leaders. Most of our ideas were quite hilarious, yet entirely unusable. So, to find something we could actually do without being fired, we turned to the friends who never let us down,…
Summer will be here before you know it…and many of us will be spending a month at a Young Life property serving on Work Crew, Summer Staff, or an Assigned Team.

The other team wore a darker shade, the blue associated with sadness, and even was represented by a devilish mascot. The two teams represented…
As most of you are aware, today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. I didn’t start practicing Lent until college when our YL Regional Director taught on it at a leadership meeting. With each year, this Lenten season grows more personally significant and is consistently a time of deeper intimacy with the Lord. The term ‘Lent’ comes…
This is a fun idea to steal and make for your own club. It could also be combined with the traditional Young Life “Irate Neighbor Skit.”
This weekend a few of us from our area led music at Windy Gap for Columbia, SC and Lake Norman, NC Winter Camp. Here is a link to download our set list from the weekend. It’s also listed below with links to download the guitar chords for the newer content songs you might not yet use in club….
With spring sports practices starting this week, it’s about time to welcome in that warm weather with some pre-club yard games. You might already have a YL cornhole set, and maybe ladder golf, but do you haveSPIKEBALL? In November we gave away our first Spikeball set (Retail Value $50) to lucky winner and YL leader Amy Fanning,and because…
