I organize activites for singles in my area, about 15 people right now, looking like it will be 20 or more by the fall. I have the summer mostly planned, and I was wondering if anyone can suggest some good activities come fall when summer fun slows down? We tend to lean towards board game nights and birthday parties and such for the winter, but this year I wanted to make things a bit more exciting. I have some ideas to help spice up the winter blahs, but I wondered if anyone would be willing to offer some ideas as well? This is a group of people ages 23-30 right now, and almost everyone is single, and non of us are married. Most of us are Christians, so we like to keep the fun clean. Games that aren't about flirting or romance would be best as well as that usually only leads to hurt and unintentional broken hearts. Thanks for any ideas you can give me to add to the other ideas I want to put into place this fall. :)

BTW, we have access to a rather large gym at a local church if that helps with thinking up some ideas. Thanks :)

Scavenger hunt is actually what I have on the list for two weekends from now. :)

Do a "Polaroid Panic" named after the Polaroid camera. However, you can do it with a digital camera instead.
The idea is to break down to teams of 4 or 5 people. Have a list of items with points associated with them that they must take a photo of. For example, a horse, worth 3 points, a horse with a member of the team on it, 5 points, each additional member 5 points. Have a list of about 50 items. Give each team two hours so do it. Meet back at the Church after two hours and compare photos.
We did this in San Francisco one year, great way of learning the city.

Similar to what ic3d2 said but you could organize some sort of scavenger hunt, all the running round will keep people warm in the autumn, and it's not really too cold then anyway. Each team has a camera and you write out clues to land marks and specific sites in the town or city. Either do it on foot or spread it out and have them drive to the spots. Secure the clue at the landmark or otherwise if there are enough picture phones within the group, have them send a photo of the landmark and then text them the next clue. Might take a bit of planning but is a lot of fun. Otherwise you could have a dance at the hall where every person invites another person who they are not interested in. Mix and mingle and you never know...one person's trash is another one's treasure (sorry, not a very nice way of putting it but you get the idea)

Do not, by all means have group sex, stick to board games!
No touching, don't want young folks to be playing touchy -feely with themselves at beddy-bye. Twister(the game) might be a novelty.
Everyone too fightened for ' Truth Or Dare'? Might liven up those chilly winter nights.

Please avoid sports activities. I used to attend the singles events and found that sports activities interfer with any real intervention between the men and women. Try to do some more intimate activities that involve interactive conversation between the people. I found singles groups to be too silly and I never met anyone because there was never any one on one time so I gave up on it long ago
