Craziness at the High Rollers Capernaum Club

Club this week was a blast! Our students participated in some crazy games... Including a donut eating contest, and a shaving cream to the face/Cheeto toss! We rocked out to some tunes led by Dave, and ended the night by hearing a message on forgiveness from one of our leaders Mark. It was a great way to end the month of February, and now we are ready for March madness!!!

High Rollers Love

Instead of having a typical club for Valentines Day, we decided to treat our students to a special evening.  Our students were served a sit down dinner, enjoyed hearing from a live quartet, and ended the night by coming up on stage and sharing their best pick up lines. The evening was so much fun, and I think everyone there felt the Valentines love!

Big Air Wyldlife Club

Last Tuesday we got be part of a really cool opportunity! I am of the coaches for the Marco Forester Surf Team and I had set up an event to go to the new trampoline park called Big Air! The other coaches were nice enough to invite our Wyldlife club to join the surf team on their big air trampoline park adventure! It was an amazing opportunity because we got to introduce most of the surf team and their parents to what Wyldlife is and what its all about and at the same time get crazy and jump on some trampolines! It was an amazing success and we all had a blast! Attached are some photos from our day of "bouncing off the walls" literally!

A Special Birthday

Late February we celebrated the birthday of one of our sweet girls from club, Laura. It was her birthday on Valentines day, so the following Friday one of our amazing leaders hosted a birthday party for her. Laura has a harder home life and we wanted to make her birthday extra special this year! We invited many of her friends from school to come and celebrate our dear friend. Around 6:00 her friends started showing up at the house and when everyone was there, we headed over to the park to let out our aggression on the Hello Kitty piñata. She was able to take the final hit at the piñata before we went back to the house to enjoy pizza, pasta, and birthday cake. We ended the evening singing karaoke into our blow-up microphones! We have been blessed to get to know laura over the past few years, and had an amazing time celebrating her! A special thanks to you, our donors, who helped fund this party for our friend!

Valentines Day With OC Capernaum

Last Wednesday, High Rollers and Capernaum Beyond met together to enjoy a Valentines day dinner. We started off the evening with making Valentines Day Cards and then spent the majority of the evening sharing a Valentines Day dinner together. 
We were blessed to be served in a number of different ways, which made the evening possible. Parents, leaders and friends of Young Life donated pasta dishes, caesar salad, garlic bread, dessert, sparkling cider, and water bottles. We were also blessed to be served by a small group of high school girls from Saddleback Church, who prepared each plate, served our meals and waited on them. 
This made the evening especially nice because it enabled leaders to share and enjoy the meal with our friends. A little something extra was given to us when a barbershop quartet happened to be at the church and volunteered to sing a few numbers for us! It was quite the treat. 
And what would Valentines day be without a few smooth lines? At the end of our evening, a few of our fancy friends shared their best pick-up lines with the rest of the group. We were thrilled the evening went so well and were blessed to have so many people willing to help make the night happen!
