Spring Lock-In 2012 // Schedule of Events

This past weekend, over one hundred middle school students descended upon the Hayward Wesleyan Church for the Spring Lock-In.

I don’t know why they like doing this?!

In order to organizationally survive 10 hours with middle school students, one needs to have a comprehensive plan for the time allotted. Preferably there needs to be more activities planned that one has time for, which turned out to be good for us this time. We didn’t run out of things to do, but because of the number of students that attended, we had to not do certain activities that we had previously planned.
