EXTREME CHALLENGE

Extreme Challenge is a day of fun and fellowship, where junior high youth in grades 6-8th play crazy games, dance, eat, pray, build community, and celebrate our faith in prayer and liturgy. The day also features The Lion's Den where teams compete in a quiz show atmosphere to test their knowledge of the Catholic faith. Physical condition or skill level doesn't matter; there are games for everyone. It also provides creative ideas for PCLs, core teams, and volunteers to take back to their own parish/school.

PEACEMAKERS

Peacemakers is a one-day workshop for both early adolescent youth (6-8th grades) and their leaders to discuss and explore the problems facing youth during the Junior High years. The program is designed to cover various topics over a three-year period. These topics include bullying, cliques, harassment, peer pressure, gangs, drugs/alcohol, and self-esteem challenges.

The program offers Christ's models for handling these problems and provides youth with a place to openly discuss situations and solutions. Through a variety of activities, community building, role play, games, presentations, and discussions, participants will learn valuable skills to assist them in handling these issues. These include conflict management /resolution, peer mediation, as well as peer ministry to help them in their school, home, and church life.
