This past summer, Elevate ministries had six day camps and one away camp. Each of the day camps had different themes, and one of the most successful themes was the “ESCAPE ROOM”.

Throughout the week, preteens completed escape challenges, heard messages about freedom and escaping, and then, before the week was over, the groups created their own escape rooms for other groups to attempt to solve.

Today on the podcast, listen as Makenna gives more details about this highly successful VBS-type experience for preteens.

Mentioned in the podcast is this link, which will give you more ideas about creating an escape room for your preteens.

Preteens are a little silly sometimes. For whatever reason, they really liked the idea of a MUSTACHE night. It was a HIT, and brought a new level of energy to a regular midweek service.

In today’s podcast, Sean discusses what Mustache Night was, how the preteens participated, and how it was LOOSELY tied into the message.
