Syracuse Tour Info
On May 15th and 16th, the Syracuse Area Youth Workers (SAYW) network is offering a special all night activity for youth groups in the Syracuse area called the SYRACUSE TOUR 2009. This will be the eleventh year that the network has planned, promoted and produced this outreach event. Last year we had over 650 teens from many local churches participate. This year we are expecting for that number to grow. In a 12 hour time period (7 p.m. to 7 a.m.), you and your young people will play mini-golf, bowl, go ice skating, play a variety of sports/games in a large indoor sportscenter, have a private screening of an appropriate movie, get an event t-shirt, eat pizza at night, be eligible for some great giveaways AND be a part of an outreach service geared specifically toward youth!!! Our speaker this year is Ken Freeman. When you register your church you will receive a full schedule of the evening. The best part is that each of your teens gets all this provided for just $30. ($15 for adult staff) The Syracuse Tour is open to all church youth groups with teens (7th-12th grade). REGISTRATION deadline is Friday, May 8th.
Syracuse Tour begins Friday (5/15) at 7 in the evening and finishes at 7 the next morning. Each group meets and registers teens at their own church. Youth groups travel in their own vehicles to the first stop and meet other groups there. Everyone’s first stop of the evening is a local mini-golf course. You will be told which one you are going to when you register. At the mini-golf course you will be responsible to pay a per head amount for your group only. The next event brings the entire group together at Believer’s Chapel for pizza and the outreach. At this stop you will give the entirety of your group’s remaining money to your area leader (made known to you when you register) and will not be responsible to make any payments for the rest of the evening. This payment must be in the form of ONE check made out to SAYW. There will be four different area groups. After the outreach, you will rotate throughout the evening to various venues with your area group. Each of these stops lasts an hour and a half. You will end up back at your church around 6:45. Please note that groups are not allowed to change schedules or pay for partial aspects of the evening.
