Overnight "lock-in" outreach event at the church. Various activities depending upon space, but the skies the limit. We use it as an outreach where the cost is $10, unless you bring a friend, then you and your friend are free. A contest for who can bring the most friends with a cool prize. We have been running this for 2 years under this format and tpyically have more visitors than regulars. A great way to grow the outpost. This year we did a "Treasure Island" theme, with the devotions around Christ being the treasure we should be seeking after. Games included compass course with a treasure box at the end with candy, prizes, etc. Commanders dressed up as pirates (friendly ones like the pirates who don't do anything). Skits & decor around that them as well. Submitted by: Lloyd Fillis

Location:Rodeo
Equipment:blankets to save seats and bottled water.
Sporting event - went to a local Rodeo. Kids and commanders dressed in their class B uniforms and wore cowboy hats. It was a great time, only a couple of hrs so the boys did not get bord. They got a chance to talk to several of the contestants and see the horses, bulls and calfs fairly close. This was a meet us there event so not buses to coordinate. Parents drove their kids bought their tickets and food there and we had a special meeting place where we reserved seats with blankets on the benches. Honestly, I think the adults had just as much fun. We use Golden Nuggets as a reward system for our RK and anyone that brought a friend got 20 nuggets. Submitted by: Kimberly Belfour
