We kicked summer off with most epic event. It was ‘Party Bingo’ night but trust me when I say it was nothing like your usual game. We pulled out all the stops – there were people busting moves on the dance floor like they were in a music video, and others diving headfirst into some intense games. And let’s not forget about the fancy dress theme – this time we decided to go all out and come dressed as the 90-year-old version of ourselves. Picture this: canes, wrinkly skin, and those crazy oversized glasses that look like they came straight from the future. It was hilarious! The whole night was filled with laughter, good vibes, and a healthy dose of friendly competition. Seriously though, what a great way to start summer.

That’s not all though. We have a whole raft of summer events this year. This starts with a week of ‘Camp-Not-Camp’, and if you’re wondering what that is, then we all hang out together for a week filled with amazing events, but we camp at home, in gardens, with friends.

So, what’s on that week? First up on our list is a legendary Nerf war, where we’ll battle it out in with foam darts and tactical strategies. But before indulging in the chaos, we’ll kickstart that day with breakfast on Zoom, connecting virtually to share a meal and catch up on each other’s lives. To explore our town in a unique way, we’ve also planned an exhilarating round town scavenger hunt (after another breakfast of course, in person this time) that will take us to hidden gems and secret spots, providing endless excitement along the way. As dusk settles, we’ll transform into movie buffs for a cinema night, accompanied by popcorn and laughter.

The last day will be the big one! We’re putting on a fun-filled day with inflatables at Ysgol John Bright. We’ll start off by challenging each other on an exhilarating 60ft inflatable obstacle course. It will be hilarious watching everyone try to make their way through the inflated tunnels, climbing walls, and slides. After that, we’ll strap ourselves into sumo suits and get ready for some belly-bumping action. To “cool down”, we’ll then hop onto a surf simulator where we will test our balance and agility while riding imaginary waves. And what’s a day of adventure without delicious food? We’re going to indulge in a Subway platter packed with mouth-watering sandwiches and sides that will recharge us for more fun-filled activities. Korey from Colwyn Youth for Christ will join us to give a gospel message and share one of his favourite American youth group ball games, ‘GaGa Ball.’!

Of course, no summer is complete without a sizzling BBQ party filled with deliciously charred burgers and mouth-watering grilled veggies to satisfy our taste buds. We’re also going to run a full-on games party mid-summer, and a ‘late nighter’ project that will run until midnight.

We hope this Summer will create lifelong memories for so many young people! We know that a lot of them won’t be able to go on holiday this year, and can’t manage the usual camps either, so we’re going to do everything we can to show them they’re loved.

Please be praying for us! It’s a lot to juggle (and, let’s be honest, there’s a lot that could go wrong!) and we hope that these projects will help young people grow into a closer-knit community, and one that will draw nearer to Jesus.

What to help support what we do? Consider giving to keep this work going and growing! 🙂 Thank you.
