[Artemisia] Uprising question

[BECKY LEISHMAN]

One of the most difficult challenges of a youth minister is to come up with activities that will interest a broad age range of the youth that come to events.

I would like to see the parents of the teenagers talk to their kids and find out what types of activities would actually interest them... and post it here... that way, the MOY's have a better idea as to what to plan for. 

In our area, we've done several hands on 'beginning' classes in several subjects like needlework, spinning, weaving, calligraphy and illumination...etc.. .but even then, we don't seem to be able to draw the attention of the teens... so I'd really like to know....what is it that they want to do and learn? 

Perhaps holding special teen classes in the early evening hours might be a way that they can do whatever serviceand/or combat type things they want to do and still attend the classes? 

I'm sure your local MOY's are looking forward to hearing from you all as well.

  I would like to send out a big kudos to this event,
  this particular event was my second camping event
  after joining and one of the many reasons I have for
  this being my favorite event is that the kids are very
  welcome and there are things for them to do and see. 
  I am a single mom so this is very important to me. 
  The children's court was a very spectacular idea
  although I was not able to attend to see it my
  daughter and mom gave rave reviews.  On a personal
  note I would like to add a idea, there didn't seem to
  be many activities for kinda middle aged children, my
  daughter is big on helping out where ever she can but
  not all children that age are, one of my ideas is
  maybe offer some special classes for those of the
  middle age.  Some kids (like mine) haven't been in for
  very long and it is hard for them to do some of the
  adult classes because they need more of a from the
  beging type of class.  This is just a thought, as I
  stated before I love this event because it does have
  activities geared towards the smalls. 
  Thanks for a fabulous week:)
