Kinship Activities

Wednesday, June 10th

10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Coborns in Little Falls

Kinship needs your help in selling brats at Coborns this summer. We receive funding from the United Way and in return, assist them with this fundraiser. 

We need a crew of 3-4 people, with at least one adult, to run the brat sale throughout the day. This is a good way for matches to volunteer together. Shifts should be at least two hours long.

RSVP ASAP through the link below.

Sunday, June 28

1 pm - 8 pm

Lake & Details TBD

Mark it down!  Kinship youth & volunteers are invited to an afternoon of fishing on a local lake.  The “plan” is to catch our dinner & conclude with a fish fry!  If you have a boat or portable cooking equipment for the fish fry, please LMK.  If interested, please RSVP ASAP.

RSVP ASAP through the link below.

Thursday, July 2

8:45 pm - 11:15pm

Long Drive Inn, Long Prairie

Transportation on your own

Movies are fun, but they are a different experience at a drive-in theatre. Kinship is headed to the Long Drive In in Long Prairie (24257 Riverside Drive) on July 2nd. This activity is open to Kinship youth, volunteers & families. We will be watching "Toy Story 5.”

Kinship youth & volunteers are admitted free and receive $5 towards concessions. Family members pay normal theatre pricing (age 12+ are $8, age 5-11 are $5, under age 4 are free). No outside food or beverages are allowed (water is aok)

Gates opens at 8:45 pm. Tell the ticket seller that you are with Kinship (and have family members pay). There will be a roped off section for Kinship folks to park (ropes taken down at 9:15 pm). Prior to the movie, we will host a kickball game! The movie will start at 9:45 and should be done around 11:00 pm.

There is a second feature after Toy Story 5 that you are welcome to stay for, but the Kinship activity officially ends after the 1st movie is done.
