Follow the instructions on the back of the drink mix to create your popsicle mixture. If you’d like to kick it up a notch, add in your

chopped fruit, honey, or replace half the amount of water with your alcohol of choice! Then, pour the mixture into your popsicle pouches using a funnel or a container with a spout. Finally, seal the pouches and place them upright in the freezer for about two hours.

SET THE MOOD Take a moment to consider the space where your date will occur. Setting the mood for your date is an important step to really enjoy your experience together. We’re taking it old school this month with GLOW STICKS! Locate your included glow sticks and cylinder jar. Fill the jar 3/4 of the way with water. Using scissors, carefully cut the top off of the glow sticks over a sink. Pour the liquid inside the jar and gently swirl to create your glow in the dark lantern.

Relationship Red Zone

WHAT YOU’LL NEED: 2 pens | Spare paper Included game pieces

One of the quintessential parts of any summer camp is outdoor physical activity. Whether it’s kickball, Ultimate Frisbee or pickup basketball, summer camp often features fun sports for camp-goers to enjoy. For your next activity, it’s time to metaphorically lace up your cleats, put on your shoulder pads and strap on your helmet for some Relationship Red Zone football.

Grab two pens and your included spare paper to prepare. Then, take time to individually work through the questions below – be sure not to discuss or show your answers. Once you have each written down the answers to all of the questions, locate your included game pieces, and get ready for kickoff!

Place both game pieces at the start line, and begin working your way through the questions and guessing your partner’s answers. For each question that you correctly guess your partner’s answer to, move forward 10 yards. The first one to score a touchdown wins the game!

If one person scores before you get through all of the questions, read through the rest to see how you did.

4.

Give the benefit of the doubt.

5.

Express your feelings functionally, especially when it’s tough.

6.

Take a risk together.

7.

Be willing to give as well as receive.

Locate your included bandana and work your way through the following challenges to the right.

Reflection & How To Continue Your

D a t e N ig h t

Challenge 1

- Find a hallway or room with plenty of walking

space to complete the challenge. Begin by having one partner place the bandana around his or her head as a blindfold while the other partner sets up obstacles in the hallway or space. Use items from your date such as the box or the neon lantern and add additional items from around your home. Place your blindfolded partner at the beginning of the hallway or obstacle course and head to the end.

Guide them through the course using ONLY verbal commands. If your blindfolded partner touches an obstacle, start over! Once he or she completes the course, switch roles and be sure to move the obstacles around to create a new challenge.

Challenge 2

- Build paper airplanes using the spare paper provided

in your box. Begin by having one partner place the bandana around his or her head as a blindfold while the other partner provides the sheet of paper. Only the blindfolded partner is allowed to touch the paper while the other partner provides verbal commands such as “rotate 90 degrees,” “fold vertically,” etc. Once he or she completes the airplane, switch roles and create a second airplane. Remember, the important part of this activity is the communication, not the end result. Feel free to race your airplanes once you’ve completed the activity!

Challenge 3

-

Find an area with open space and sit down with your

backs against each other. Both partners will bend knees and plant their feet firmly against the floor, press into each other’s backs and try to rise to standing! This may be difficult depending on the size and height difference between partners. Focus on breathing together and rising at the same pace, synching your movements will be key.
