2010 Action Plans: Family Life Group

At the EYL Training Camps in Kerrville and San Angelo, TX, over 250 youth created 28 action plans to take back to their schools and communities. These action plans concentrated on bettering their schools and/or communities by concentrating on issues of parents providing alcohol to minors, reducing smokeless tobacco use by high school students, drug and alcohol use and attitudes, bullying, underage drinking and substance abuse, inappropriate touching/ PDA, youth lack of awareness of issues, youth safety issues, texting and driving, giving backpacks and schools supplies to youth, risky behaviors, anger and violence, gossiping, and community adult involvement in youth.

And already the youth are finding success in completing their action plans…

“Hey Brent, I just wanted to thank you again for the backpacks you gave us. We had the giveaway last week and it was absolutely phenomenal. Along with giving away the backpacks filled with school supplies we fed over 300 people, provided different sessions on parenting, managing finances and other skills. On top of all that we sent all the family’s home with huge boxes filled with food. It was a great night for our group and our community and EYL had a very instrumental part in our success. Some people say that teenagers cannot change the world, but with your help we are proving them wrong. I just wanted you to know that EYL is more than just a one week experience for Family Life and that we are hard at work making our community better….”  -A.D. (2010 EYL Camp Volunteer and part of the Family Life Group)

Family Life, EYL Camp 2010-Kerrville

 

To all of our campers…..KEEP IT UP! We are so proud of each and everyone one of you and cannot wait to hear more success stories from the completion of all your action plans you created! Remember, we are not too far away and will help you with whatever you need.

EYL Trek Training Team: Episode 2, “Top Gun High Five”

CAPTAINS LOG STARDATE 5…1…9.6..2

Seeing as how many at camp did not know what the Top Gun High Five is, and possibly even you are looking at this blog with a confused face, we shall demonstrate this particular high five CAMP STYLE!

Here to help are the reliable Captain Kirk (aka Trey) and Spock (aka Shawn, aka…well you get the picture)

Step 1: Move towards the other person

Step 2: Bring hand up in circular motion

Step 3: Continue this motion until both hands slap up top

Step 4: Follow through with circular motion as hands go down

Step 5: Continue this motion until hands slap down low

Step 6: Move away with smile as you have completed the Top Gun High 5

Warning: Do not attempt such a high five if you have a history of hand-to-face slappage, anti-circular swing, or chronic eye fatigue

EYL Trek Training Team: Episode 1, “The Vulcan Neck Pinch”

CAPTAINS LOG STARDATE 5…1…9.5..1

As there is no sign of intelligent life..anywhere…we find our Captain James T. Kirk (aka Trey) as he is training EYL staffers on the proper procedures of the ship.

As Captain Kirk continues his monologue, Spock (aka Shawn, aka El Suprimo, aka Hot Cop, aka Bubbles) appears with his characteristic logical…if not irritated….look.

Before Kirk can continue rambling on how he battled multiple aliens with no tactical weapons and the warp drive disabled, Spock decides to quiet him with his Vulcan Neck Pinch

There is almost a look of satisfaction from Spock as Kirk begins to fall from the affect of the neck pinch…..almost

You have just witnessed a successful Vulcan neck pinch!
