Youth Alpha Weekend 2011 70+ volunteers help create Vision’s most exciting Youth Alpha weekend yet Vision’s annual Youth Alpha Weekend took place on 19-20 November in Rawtenstall.
This year’s Weekend involved 16 action-packed hours across five different locations in Rawtenstall and was attended by over 60 young people including an amazing team of teenagers who have been leading our Youth Alpha groups every Friday. The fun began on Saturday morning at St Mary’s Church before teams headed for the hills for our adventure afternoon with 10 challenges including a specially constructed assault course, blindfolded football, ‘rocket’ launching and a zip wire! After fireworks and marshmallow toasting on the bonfire, teams walked back to Rawtenstall to put together Christmas shoeboxes for International Aid Trust.
