(Here you can find all
sorts of slightly emberassing pictures from some of our last few
meetings.)
This is our wacky group pose from our first meeting.
Before all of the hard work, we first decided to have a little fun at
our lock-in. Here's how you aren't supposed to play Dance Dance
Revolution, but it's much easier to do than the traditional method.
This is us having fun playing an ice breaker game. We all got very
close to each other in this game.
This is two of our members playing Dance Dance Revolution before our
meeting.
Roland wouldn't just let the youth have fun, so he decided to try out
Dance Dance Revolution for himself. He discovered it wasn't as easy
as it looked.
We finally got to work late into the night. At the meeting we discussed
what we have done so far, and what we're going to do, and then some.
Here we are, still doing work. At the meeting we shared the progress
we had made since our last meeting, and then planned out next steps.
Very late into the night, we broke up into two groups to do futher planning.
This group is planning for the Adult Training Session that will take
place in late April this year.
This is the other group that broke out to plan for the programming
committee.
This is a member and her friend at the Volunteer Development Conference
where we explained to adults that stereotypes for youth don't always work.
These two may look weird but one's an honor's student and the other is
going to be a minister. Looks can be deceiving.
"I like football..." is what this guy said when he was helping to dispell
stereotypes about youth. During the question and answer period we shared
our favorite memories from camp and told why we keep coming back to
U.M. ARMY. We also gave the adults a few tips including the best adults
are the ones that see the rules more as "guidelines".
This is the entire group that trained adults. We had the nerd, the jock,
the cool guy, the lazy college guy, the goth, the "emo" (emotional) kid,
the hick, the preppy girl, and the invisible girl. Each of us shared
what adults may think about us when they first meet us, but then we
went a little deeper and explained what we were actually like.
