"I go 'wild' at a youth group pool party."

I went to my youth group's pool party today. I dunked a guy at least a head shorter than me into the seven ft. part of the pool after he tried to scare me. Also I got into an all out foam swimming noodle fight with my group leader and a few other kids. At the end of the day I got tackled by the biggest guy in the youth group when I was holding the volley ball. So that was the highlight of my day! What are some of your treasured pool party or youth group moments? (even while you were on mission trips.)

wow that sounds fun

actually never gotten along in a youth group

[Arya Raiin]

Nah, I've just been in it for two years now, that's why.

Hahaha, I've had some good times at youth group. Playing mafia, beach volleyball, soccer, gym nights, watching movies, playing hide-and-go-seek-tag in the dark around church...It's always fun XD Even when you bang into each other and hit your jaw hard, or when one of the guys hits you in the head with a volleyball XD

We all get along pretty well, which is probably because it's a small town and everybody knew each other from before youth group, through school or church.

I was in Paris with my youth Group, visiting one of our Church's branches and we're walking up the massive flights of steps (It has a name but I forgot). Suddenly, this kid walks up to me and pretends to cut me in half out of no where. O_o... It was the strangest thing that ever happened to me out of the States...

I'm the cause of most of the weird things that happen on youth group events. Let's just leave it at that.

...Nah, let's not. I was in a dodgeball game where I was the only one left on my side, and since we were on a basketball court, they made a rule that if you could make it in the other basket, your whole team got sprung. I almost made it a couple times, but they cut me off, thinking my situation was hopeless. Shows how much they knew.

At camp a couple weeks ago, the bus broke down on the way back from a trip to to the beach; it was around 10 at night, and we were stuck there for an hour. That was truly fascinating.

And then there's one of the youth leaders at our church. He doesn't believe in stopping when we take trips. For some reason, that year, we were obsessed with going to Subway to eat for some reason. So here comes a Subway on the next exit from the freeway. We start making a fuss. The exit gets closer. We keep panicking. Then we pass the exit, and as we do, he points at it and says, "Hey look, guys, a Subway!" The worst part? He did this two or three more times. We end up stopping to eat somewhere in the deserts of central Washington, with not a Subway to be found.

And then there was the time where we went to a nursing home to talk with them and stuff, and we ended up in a game of bingo, where one of us ended up winning; they insisted that he keep the money.

There's tons more, but those are just some of the best things I can remember right now. Good times, good times...

My pastor asked me to attend a youth camp for teenagers 2 years back. When I got there I (and the 7 other people in their twenties/thirties) was asked to me the leader of a group of 7/8 teenagers. Then from around 7 pm Friday night, STRAIGHT THROUGH (only got two hours, interrupted sleep) until 11 am the Saturday morning we did rigorous training excercises (knee-loving leopard crawls, lots and LOTS of running around the pitch) that rookie police officers were placed through (each group had to carry a tire, a large rock, and a bag of sand with them wherever they went). Each group (there were around 6 or 7 I think) had to stand guard around the outside fireplace for an hour. My group's time was from 1 am to 2 am. I went to bed from 12 to 1 am, woke up, had to go find the people in my group, bring them to the fire, sit there for an hour, then went back to bed from around 3 to 4 am, when we were woken up and had to report for early morning drills. Then we went down to the beach where we had to take part in team vs team activities (rope pulling, carrying your teammate on your back, etc), and finally walked back for 3 hours to the camp.

It was the single most awesome experience I've ever had in my life, and I'd gladly do it again.

Oh boy... Heh. Um... I'm always the rather quiet, boring one at the youth group. (Which is really odd considering my friend there could be considered the class clown) And I tend to get hurt... A lot. My face is a MAGNET for dodge balls. And basketballs. And frisbees.

[Strafe]

Lol. I know what you mean. There's the one guy in the youth group that's loud. I think that may or may not be me... but there are only 3 people in my youth group. Which is awesome, because we're really close and stuff. But they're pretty quiet, and its me doing the weird stuff like flipping and catching the knifes when we go out to eat and stuff. The people at TGI were looking at me all weird.

And it was me who... oh this one's good.

We went to Kings Dominion, and I pretended to be a tourist from Japan and asked random people to take my picture. (I'm Korean so they believed me) I made like 5 people's day. It was the funniest thing. But I had to make sure my friends hid since they're not asian and it would look suspicious.

Actually, just this week my college group went camping together and attended a "Christian music festival."

It was great as I got to see great interaction from my "church" friends and "college group" friends who have not met till now....now everyone misses each other since half of my church friends attend faraway colleges and since some of the college friends live faraway right now....

[Arya Raiin]

O_O At my youth group's mission trip, the last day eveyone at the camp got the idea to play Red Rover... yea. (About uuuhhh... 60 people... wow...) The biggest, most buff guy came charging at me. On either side of me were two girls who looked like they weighed oooh.. lets say about 90 lbs. I barley managed to hold him off. (And I'm 150 lbs. O_O) It was eh... amazing. It nearly ripped my shoulder off but it was sooo fun. XD

I've only been to Youth Group once, and it was because they advertised free drinks and pizza (obvs to get everyone to go) but I went and...
the drinks were TAP WATER and the pizza was no name microwavable "mini toasts".
I was horribly decieved.
So I never went again.
Lol.

BUTTTTTT
When I was doing the 30 hour famine we played bigger or better, and ended up getting an entire patio set, a couch, a laptop, a functional treadmill and 2 bikes XD.
It was pretty cool, considering we each started out with a toothpick.

[PrincessZelda]

Oh man... I have too many stories to single out just a few XD My youth group is completely insane, and we usually get the reputation of being the crazy youth group everywhere we go. But we all love each other, and love God, and we have a lot of fun. I really am blessed with an awesome church, that has an awesome youth ministry XD

I shall have to post more specific stories later, when I think of some. Oh man, youth groups are amazing!

Wow, that kind of happened to me, only combined, and it didn't happen to me, it happened to people in our church. We had a 30-Hour Famine thing at our youth group (not an official one, but the same idea: fasting a day for missions), and part of that was selling a meal as a fundraiser. The meal in question was some dirty water and a small bag of rice, to make a point about the availability of food and water, but some people bought it expecting a real meal. Weren't they surprised.

[Changing Myst]

Oh my gosh, I thought my youth group was the only exciting one out there! Well, it was the only exciting one I ever found and I have been to like... eight youth groups in my life. My family did a lot of church-hopping...

Anyway, I remember when one of the co-leaders grabbed a bunch of the teen girls and we toilet-papered the the youth leader's house! We stuck forks in his garden, silly stringed the tree in his yard, and put christmas decorations in front of his door. I got the special opportunity to draw a baby's body and take a photo of my youth group leader's head and put it on the body, then stick it in the swing that hung from the tree. It turned out so great, that the leader was actually impressed and he showed a picture of it (and the papered house) on Sunday morning to the youth group. He wasn't very angry, either... he just made the 6th and 7th grade boys clean it up with him.

There are other things that have happened, but that memory is the funnest I've had except for that time we went to Fuge Camp.

[RandomBurrito]

Hm .. well we had a couple of movie nights and rehearsals for plays which was pretty fun. Everyone was pretty nice and quite funny too. I love doing plays ^_^. I can't wait to see what were going to do this year!

[Squeakmaster]

YES. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.

Anyways, we've had TONS of pool parties, and we've all dunked each other and pushed each other in and yelled, "Hide the liquor!" when the preacher showed up...XD We also, about two years back, went to the Bahamas...which was amazing. I swam in foreign, really pretty water! Plus...I figured out that I can sing, I heard awful things that made me never look at irrigation devices the same again, everyone finally figured out that I had a crush on one of the guys in the group, and that wasn't really helped by us falling asleep on the bus ride down looking as though we'd been making out...XD It's hilarious now, but then it was AWFUL.
