All Ontario Convention


All Ontario Convention

Each long weekend, at the University of Waterloo, hundreds of youth gather together and attend the All Ontario Convention. 

Some of you reading this might remember your days, [long or not so long ago] attending the All Ontario.  
I sure do.  

It's been some time since we here at Calvin attended, for many different reasons I guess, but this year David and Chris wanted to go, so I went along.  

I took Ian, a YP from another youth group, with as well.  


The Convention has many different components to it.  Some for the youth, some for the adult leaders.  Here we are as adult leaders getting some training.  




Here are the YP outside enjoying the yearly dance.  


Lots of free time for sports, and swimming, and just hanging around as well. 


There are also several large group session where a main speaker comes and talk to the group.  The worship was awesome this year, and the speaker was pretty good too.  : ) 





The food, well, that could have been better, but the fellowship around the tables makes up for it.  


Chris borrowed someone's camera this year and took loads of pictures.  

There was this strange game where people were placed inside this octagon and a ball was placed in with them, and they had to avoid being hit by the ball.

Everyone seemed to love it but it got pretty dusty.  The grass will certainly have to be replanted in that space.   : ) 
  


Chris and David just hanging out.  

They both seemed to enjoy the weekend and for me it was nice to connect with other youth Pastors/workers.  We'll have to see if others want to go next year.
