NerdCon: The All-Nighter: an All-Nighter Event Guide for Youth Ministry EVENT CATEGORY: All-Nighter SPIRITUAL HABIT: Spend Time with Others AGE GROUP: Students For a well-rounded and holistic approach to your ministry events, there are 10 different kinds of events we recommend including in your annual event strategy. The category for this event is an ALL-NIGHTER (OR HALF-NIGHTER) EVENT. This type of event is designed with both regular students and visitors in mind. Through fun, games, and a little teaching, they'll practice the spiritual habit of spending time with others. This event is designed to celebrate nerdiness in all its forms! It's an opportunity to celebrate the variety of passions your students may have, and hopefully introduce them to some things may have never heard of. NerdCon: The All-Nighter is structured like a mini convention (think Comic Con), with themed areas dedicated to different nerdy subjects and fandoms. Students will be able to choose which of these self directed activities they'd like to participate in, moving around the room (or rooms) at their own pace. There will also be scheduled large group games and activities throughout the evening, and a main session that includes a teaching and a cosplay contest. The event concludes with an award ceremony and breakfast. All our events are built to be flexible! You can customize this event to your ministry's needs, but here's how we recommend using this one: Use this event for fun and outreach at church or offsite. It includes station games, all-play games, teaching and more!
