You game?

Are you looking for things to do this summer that will frighten and maybe challenge you? Look no further. Here are the top ten scary things to do this summer:

10. Classic horror movie marathon: Start off your summer with a selection of unforgettable horror flicks. Not scary enough? Try watching the 1984 classic Nightmare on Elm Street alone in a vacant house!

9. Volunteer your time: A very philanthropic way to spend your time this summer. Already volunteering? Check out some extreme volunteer options where you can work at an elephant camp in Thailand, or care for child AIDS victims in Ghana.

8. High ropes course: Fear of heights? High ropes courses can be found all over B.C., even at TWU. Already done that? Check out WildPlay Nanaimo, and take the Wild Leap of Faith: a bungee jump off a bridge dunking you into the river below.

7. Summer school: Spending your summer in a classroom…need I say more?

6. Donate a prized possession: We all can give our used clothing and bits and pieces, but what about the things we value the most? Give your beloved hockey gear to an after school kids program or your sacred leather bound bible to a newly baptized member of your church.

5. Jump off a cliff: Everyone is doing it…why shouldn’t you? Don’t choose just any cliff; there are plenty of reputable organizations that do safe cliff jumps all the way from B.C. Lakes to Nor Cal Rivers.

4. Lead a Bible study: Okay, I know what you are thinking, but this one is for those who have been ignoring God’s call to leadership. It can be scary, but trust me, it is worth it!

3. Go skydiving: Nothing I know can excite the nerves more than jumping out of a plane for a free fall at 12,000 feet. Don’t believe me? Check out the Abbotsford Skydive Centre, which is open for jumps 7 days a week – oh, and be sure to bring a friend!

2. Face your fears: Whatever you are afraid of, this summer is the time to face that fear! Slithering creatures freaking you out? Check out a reptile show to visit with some snakes. Does speaking in public make your stomach wrench? Join Toastmasters to reign in your public panic.

1. Just say yes: Ever see the movie Yes Man? The premise: say yes to whatever people ask you to do. Try this for a day and see what kinds of crazy things you can get talked into. Hey, by the way…wanna go skydiving?

To God be the glory.
