Youth Fest 2012!
What is Youth Fest? Since 2009 my home church hosts an annual festival for teens on Columbus day. There has been an average of 700+ teens every year. Youth Fest lasts for one day only. There are 3 preaching sessions, including gaming times. Games include the classic carnival attractions, plus paintball and the obstacle course. The Teens can win prizes, buy concessions and test their strength and endurance.
It is a long, exhausting, but fun filled day!
I hope you enjoy the photos and videos
