Wednesday night we have 90 WHOLE minutes of game time! We can meet anywhere from Odlin, community member houses, to Community Church Fellowship Hall. Fun is very important to us so we take it very seriously. During this time we play anything from card games, team games (dodgeball with pool noodles), to musical chairs. We also provide snacks to fuel all the rowdy fun and give time for kids to hang out.
Every Wednesday before game time we host a 30 minute discussion time. During this time we discuss topics connecting to the themes from our kick off. These discussions can range from, having hope, acknowledging people who have helped us, and our own identities. This time is an opportunity for kids and leaders to share ideas with each other.
On the first Wednesday of each month a family hosts 3V’s for dinner and games, and a testimony is shared followed by a discussion time. Kick off is an opportunity for kids to learn more about people’s personal experiences with the Christian Faith in an unassuming way. It is important that each kid that joins feels welcome regardless of faith background.
3V's provides regular off island trips for youth. These trips provide kids with a sense of independence and strengthen the community. Past trips have included bowling alleys, rollerskating, trampoline parks, and sporting events. Check the calendar for our upcoming trips!
Service Projects provide an opportunity for Lopez youth to give back to the community that supports our program, and instills an understanding of the importance of volunteering. We have worked with the Family Resource Center, individuals and local churches. Service projects give kids a chance to work as a team for the good of their community.
3V’s is committed to providing youth on Lopez the opportunity to have a summer camp experience. In the past we have traveled to YoungLife camps and Camp Firwood. We value a presentation of Christianity that is honest, simple. It is important that each kid that comes with us feels welcome regardless of their faith. Camp is about having an unforgettable experience with new and old friends alike.
