This document describes a youth camp game called "Balloon Gauntlet" that teaches teamwork and pursuing goals. The game involves two teams hitting a balloon back and forth through a row of chairs toward the opposing team's goal. It is meant to illustrate how pursuing goals does not always go as planned but progress can be made through teamwork and effort. The document provides materials, preparation, gameplay instructions, and discussion questions to relate the game to setting and achieving life goals with God's help and support from others.

12. Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"
