It's Summer!
Time for some fun with your small group.
The summer can be a great time for your group to connect in new ways. Take advantage of the warmer weather and plan some fun activities to deepen friendships, build trust, and relax. Consider doing one event each month this summer to just have fun together: go paintballing, grill out, roast marshmallows, play Capture the Flag, see a movie, have a Bags or Corn Hole tournament, go bowling, attend your kids' sporting events, go camping, play board games, explore a local tourist attraction, hike a trail, or go golfing (or disc-golfing). Think outside your regular activities and explore a group member's favorite pastime. Invite group members' kids. Enjoy each other's company, and spend time chatting and laughing together without an agenda.
