Ultimate Frisbee: NEMBY vs. Cornerstone

NEMBY, are you ready for a little bit of friendly, inter-youth competition? I hope so, because we're going to be playing ultimate frisbee with Cornerstone Youth! We'll be meeting on Friday, at 7:00 pm, AT Lester B. Pearson Park (on the corner of Niagara St. & Carlton St., across from Laura Secord Secondary School). Please wear active wear & proper running shoes, and bring a water bottle. There is a chance of rain, but we're going to be playing rain or shine! Woot woot!!! Cause we're the PARTY PIRATES!!!

Final Canoe Trip Details

Here are some final reminders and packing tips for the trip tomorrow!!! I was talking to Ben (our canoe trip guide) last night and he reminded me that we can bring ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD along in our bags. I know that people usually bring snacks and whatnot, but when you’re camping in the actual wilderness (yeah, that’s right, we’re hardcore) all food needs to be safely and properly stored so that animals don’t come digging around in our tents…no joke. Please do not pack food in your bag. Even things like toothpaste and any toiletries need to be packed into a food safe container because they attract animals, so I’m actually going to bring one tube of toothpaste, some sunscreen, and bug spray that we can all use…that way we don’t have 15 of each to store in the food safe container every night. So don’t worry about packing those 3 items. This is mostly for the girls, but please do not pack body spray or perfume, makeup, hair products, even deodorant is discouraged (but if you really feel like you need it then bring it and we’ll store it). We’ll be hardcore and stinky together ☺.

On a more positive note, we’re going to be camping about 5 minutes from some awesome jumping cliffs, we’ll be able to fish, swim, and hang out ALL WEEKEND!!!

The meeting time is 7 am tomorrow morning, but please try to come at least 5 minutes before that so we can pack up and head out as quick as possible. I know it’s early, but at least you get to sleep the whole way to camp. We’ll be meeting at Fairview MB Church. And remember your permission forms & money!!! You seriously will not be allowed to come without them…no joke!

See you tomorrow!

Capture the Flag

Wow, it feels like it's been forever since we've had a proper youth.

Anyhow, here's what's going on this Friday. We're going to be playing Capture the Flag. We'll meet at Fairview MB at 7:00 pm, make our flags, wait for the sun to go down a bit and then head over to Queenston Heights where we'll play the game. We should be back at the church between 10 and 10:30.
