# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hope Youth Summer Kickoff: Hillbilly Paintball + Root Beer Float Night!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 11 Jun, 2025 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Let’s launch into summer the messy, hilarious way—with Hillbilly Paintball, root beer floats, and a look at what youth group is all about!

What’s Hillbilly Paintball?

Think marshmallows + ketchup + mustard = the ultimate goofy battle! Students will dip marshmallows in condiment "paint" and throw them at each other in an all-out food-fight-style game. Don’t worry—afterward, we’ll cool off and clean off in the sprinklers!

What to Wear:

Clothes that can get stained (think old T-shirts and athletic shorts)
Protective eyewear (we’ll provide goggles, or bring your own)
A towel + change of clothes is a good idea for the ride home!
Kickoff Begins with Parents!

Before the mess begins, we’re inviting parents and students to arrive at 6:30 PM for:

A short walkthrough of what youth group is all about—our vision, schedule, and how we support teens in their faith
A relaxed root beer float social to connect with leaders and other families
‍♀️ Parents, Here's What Else to Know:

Safety First: Marshmallows are soft, and we’re using protective goggles during the game. Adult leaders will be present and supervising all activities.

Clean-Up Ready: Kids will rinse off with sprinklers (no soap/shampoo), and we recommend sending a towel and/or clean shirt for the ride home.

All Are Welcome: This is a great night for new students to check things out in a low-pressure, super fun setting. Bring a friend!

Optional Drop-Off: Parents are welcome to stay for the float social, but it’s also okay to drop off after the opening portion.

RSVP (optional but helpful)!
