My First Youth Group Trip

I was 21 and recently graduated from college when I led my first youth group trip. One of my part-time jobs at that point was as youth director for Trinity United Methodist Church in Lindsborg, KS; we had around 10 high school kids who all piled into a van and headed east to Gatlinburg, TN. There we did VBS-style programs for children in the many campgrounds in and around the Great Smoky Mountains.
