A guest post by Taylor Johnson... Two years ago I went to summer camp at Carolina Point-a Young Life Camp which lies on the border of North and South Carolina.  While I was a camper there the Area Director of Memphis Capernaum, Susan, was there as a head leader.  Susan knew my area director so at the end of the week she asked me and another girl if we would like to help her out at Memphis Capernaum's fall weekend camp.  Me and the other girl both said "Sure! Why not?" We both had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but we were so stoked!  September rolls around and we are finally on our way to camp!  At this time in my life I had had no prior experience with students with disabilities, so to say I was nervous would be a dramatic understatement.  Once we got there we got thrown right into it!  We were able to build relationships, love on them, and point them towards Jesus.  We only got to spend two days with them but two days is all it took for them to ch

As friends are pouring into club, those first fifteen or twenty minutes can be loud, fun and sometimes hard for buddies and Capernaum friends to connect.   Another great idea from Boston (don't miss their Amazing Race event)... Set up three Stations for the start of club.  These will enable buddies and Capernaum friends to connect as soon as they walk in the door.   Station Ideas: Minute-To Win It Games Crafts Word Searches Card Games- Uno, Go Fish, Old Maid Board Games- Connect Four, Jenga Building Structures out of toothpicks and marshmallows Allow the stations to run for fifteen to twenty minutes, until your club has all arrived and you're ready to get started! Have fun and send us your great station ideas!

What a great fall kick-off idea from our friends in Boston Capernaum! How to host your very own Capernaum Amazing Race 1.  Break the group into at least two teams.  Ensure that there are Capernaum friends, buddies and leaders on each team. 2.  Start from your central meeting point in town. 3.  Give each team three tasks to accomplish, initially. 4.  Send the teams out and let them know that they need to come back to the meeting spot once they have accomplished the first three, showing a leader proof of the accomplishments. 5.  After coming back, give them three more (until each team does 12, but in different sequence so not everyone is doing the same thing at the same time).   6.  Their last clue should send them back to a meeting spot where you can have hot chocolate and snacks waiting.   A few hints: - Do it all within a small section of town, so that everyone can walk or roll up and down streets, without having to figure transportation.  - Choose tasks that make it
