I live in Middle Tennessee and I'm a christian. I don't party or anything like that. I'm looking for good (maybe unique) ideas that the youth will love and will keep people in a wholesome atmosphere

I am not Christian but I was a Girl Guide and Leader for my whole life.. It's all about wholesome fun at Guides(Girls Scouts in the US) Anyway some of the things we would do are, have scavenger hunts, play huge games of hide and seek, badminton, any kind of game during the day.. Go hiking, do a craft, etc. Then we would have a campfire at night, sing songs, tell funny/scary stories, cook our food over the fire and then have dessert over the fire. Everyone always had a blast and it was nothing but fun.. I dont know if thats "Christian" enough for you but it's certainly wholesome. The kids always especially loved cooking their food over the fire, and the banana boats for dessert!! Sometimes we even made icecream during the day to eat at dinner. I have recipes and food ideas if you want them just send me a message...

It sounds like you are judging people who have a beer or two (NO I am not talking about getting wasted) or like to go out and dance (and actually dance, and return to their OWN homes either alone or with their significant other that that went with) as either unchristian or filthy. Contrary to what alot of people think It CAN be done and it HAS been done.
I get the idea however you are talkng about kids...okay...so....
BUT......Bowling, movies, shopping, Dance party with soda and pizza and karaoke....video parties....game night...."casino" night...bonfires...Sports...
Not all teens are into booze and drugs and sex. I can count on ONE hand how many times I drank in high school because I thought it was stupid ...and feard being grounded...hehe. Other than having a VERY sarcastic mouth (and sense of humor) I had a 16th birthday party (1991) that was booze and drug free, my parents were there (albeit out of the way) and as boring as this may sound to some kids, we (about 45 - 50 of us) Had a GREAT time.

I don't know about Saturday nights, but here in Texas we go to a high school football game on Friday nights. After Christianity, it's the largest religion in the state.

Bowling, a good golf game, maybe a ball game of some sort, maybe a gathering of people to get together talk and do thier favorite hobby... the list can go on and on.
Christian's are not stale.

Do fellowships with others churches.
cookouts
a day at the park
skate, bowling parties
bike riding
hiking
talent shows
shut ins
movies
There are lots of things to do, you just have to be creative and do some research on what is available where you live.
Also find out what other churches do for their youth groups.

There are plenty of fun things to do (and they have nothing to do with you being a Christian). Go see a movie. Play board games. Play Mexican Train Dominos (FUN!!!!). Have coffee in a unique bookstore. Make pizzas together, and sundaes for dessert. Go roller blading at a rink if one is nearby. Call your local forest preserve and see if they have night hikes.

Go play miniature golf, have a scavenger hunt, roast hot dogs around a camp fire, tour a local museum after hours, have a party with the elderly at your local convalescent home (they love that!)
There are so many things that you can do and still stay out of trouble.

Poker. I'm completely serious. Play with chips, or for pennies. It's loads of fun.
Or... go bowling. Play pool. Have a barbeque at the nearest lake. Have a potluck dinner. Watch a movie.
I hope some of this helps.

If you are looking for some good clean christian fun, the only thing I can think of is to read the bible and discuss it.
If you mean something that is fun regardless of faith you could try the movies, mini golf, museums, game night where you play games like trivial pursuit and pictonary

I have a teenager who is involved with the Youth Group of a church. They meet every Wednesday night, on Friday nights they have what's called Chop night. This is where they play different games, they can bring their own games to hook up to the T.V.
God Bless
