JUNIOR HIGH ALL NIGHTER!!
What could be more fun than a night, and I do mean a WHOLE night from 7pm to 7am, with a group of about 50 jr. highers?? Well, that's what we did and it was SO much fun!! The night was kicked off by crossing the bridge into Philly and heading to an outdoor ice skating rink. A lot of the kids were excited at first, until they saw the place and the idea hit them that they really didn't know how to ice skate. But they braved the new challenge (and the cold) and were seen whizzing by, holding on to the wall and walking by, and in some cases sliding by as they fell right in front of us!!
After that we headed over for some late night bowling. Some of the kids got really into it, others got bored and found the arcade more entertaining, and many took the opportunity to show off their dance moves as the music played in the background!
By 3am we were back at Urban Promise for some free time and making use of the gym. There were a few basketball games played, of course the card games were brought out, and also some good old fashioned chillin'.
The night ended with a Bus rally around the city of Camden and the surrounding areas. It's basically like a scavenger hunt but in busses. The kids had to get out at their stops and complete different tasks. Many were very tired by the end of that, which was a good thing because then we got to take them home!! It was a great night and we look forward to doing it again next year!!
