"Celebrate Life" Lock-In was a success!
Over 100 middle school students from all over Rochester (and beyond) gathered together for a night of fun on February 20th at St. Francis of Assisi Church. We started out with carnival games in the gym. For each game won the students earned tickets that would later be drawn for prizes!
We enjoyed pizza and then interacted with speaker/musician/youth minister Peter Bierer from Mankato, MN. After our session with Peter we went over to the RAC where there was a large variety of games and activities available: mini golf, DDR, basketball, raquetball, table tennis, etc. There were places to jump, climb, throw balls play air hockey, and on and on! There were so many options it was hard to enjoy EVRYTHING before it was time to head back to church.
There was another meal, a movie and service project after activities at the RAC. We included our theme of Celebrate Life by organizing and decorating "Birthday Boxes" for Channel One. Inside a "Birthday Box" a family would receive a cake mix, frosting, candles, prizes, and decorations. Students gathered all these items together and completed the project by nicely decorating the outside of each box.
Our night (or morning, at this point) ended with drawing tickets for prizes. Students won giftcards to Coldstone Creamery, Burger King, Culver's, Target, i-Tunes and more!
Thank you to all students, parents, and chaperones who helped make this year's lock-in such a success!
Join us for next year's event--it's sure not to disappoint!
