Summer with BCC Youth
Our hope and prayer for this summer is that we continue to build an intentional youth community that enjoys spending time together. This includes, of course, our students and volunteers, but also our families; you are part of the Youth Community as well, and we invite you to be part of these summer activities!
Since we have a high school trip in mid June and the Church campout at the end of that month, this schedule will begin on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Our Monthly Rotation
Week 1: Backyard Bash!
From 6:30-8:00 on the back lawn
Weeks 1 and 3 are the same basic plan. On these Wednesdays, we will be holding “Backyard Bashes” on the back lawn (behind the youth room). We’ll offer outdoor games, snacks, and seek to delight in one another through outdoor play! We’ll start this time with a liturgy of recreation, asking God to be amongst us as we play Ultimate Frisbee, Four Square, Kuub, and cornhole, etc. These 1st and 3rd Wednesdays in particular are intended to be for our whole BCC Youth community. Parents, siblings, and friends are welcome and encouraged (though, of course, not demanded) to attend!
Week 2: Game Nights
From 6:30-8:00 in the youth room
Every second week, we’ll meet inside instead. These “game nights” will focus on tabletop games, from card game classics like Uno, Mau, and Swoop, to board games like Ticket to Ride and Catan, and possibly even some dice-based story games! Again, we’ll start with a prayer, dedicating our time together, focusing our intentions on being a reflection of God’s community. Our hope is that by offering a different kind of “play,” all of our students feel welcomed and included. As with weeks 1 and 3, the extended community is welcome to participate…parents, siblings, and friends are welcome and encouraged (though, of course, not demanded) to attend!
Week 3
See week 1!
Week 4: Worship Night
From 6:30-8:00 in the youth room, occasionally moving to the sanctuary
These evenings will be a little different from the other events in our rotation. We’ll be gathering not only for fun and fellowship, but also for worship through music.
Throughout the evening, we’ll play music together, giving students the opportunity to sing, play along, and develop new musical skills. Whether they are growing as instrumentalists or vocalists, or learning how to operate the church sound board and other technical equipment, students will have the chance to gain hands-on experience. We’ll spend some focused time working on a specific song before transitioning into a more open music session.
For logistical reasons, the music development portions of the evening—including instrument instruction, sound board training, and equipment use—will be available exclusively to our youth participants.
