Youth Group Activities - October, 2005

The Youth Group has been very active this past month. We went on an overnight to Camp Overlook for a ropes course adventure. It was quite an experience for all of us. Being up high was both challenging and exciting. Some of us participated in the Crop Walk on the 16th and our Hallowe’en Party was on the 30th with costumes required. There were several contests, including the costumes, string donut eating, apple bobbing and a strange cup game that was enjoyed by some of the girls. Winners of the costume contest were: Kevin Allott - first, Colin Borsh - second, Marion Enslow - third, Daniel Brouwer - honorable mention, and Erin Anderson - most creative. We’re looking forward to our November meetings which will include leaf raking and Pajama Drama Day.
