Hey – I’ve been taking a Christmas break, but I’m I have also been planning on doing a Survivor Lock-In this Friday Jan. 2nd in our town and so for the rest of the week I will be updating you on how it’s going.
About the end of September I mentioned to our middle school youth that we were planning a Survivor Lock-In and now it’s the week of the lock-in and so I’m trying to get as much done as possible so that I have nothing to do but the lock-in on Friday.
Last Friday, my sweet volunteers began the decorating process. Here’s pic:
It’s an old church that we have been using as a youth center. The nice part is we can pretty much work on things as we need to without much of any trouble.
So Friday from 6 – 10pm and Sunday all afternoon to get the props and decorating put together for the area and tomorrow I will be shopping for the supplies and prizes which you will get to see me in Wal-Mart.
On the wall behind me will be the Survivor Logo that we created for the activity and it will also be where I speak to the middle schoolers and MC the evening. It will be accomplished through projection and sound system.
Finding some creative stuff always helps enhance the evening experience – good thing I live in Montana with some extra skulls laying around that my friends don’t mind picking up and bringing.

I know you are probably well along in the planning, but here’s a lock-in checklist I had created that might be useful for your future lock-ins.

Survivor Lock In got delayed because of massive snow and wind last week, so this Saturday I will be doing a mini version from 6 – midnight and will update you with a blog post.
