Our interview with Future Folk Brianna:
When did you start coming to YOKE? I started coming to YOKE my 6th grade year at WSMS. It was in 2005
How did you hear/know about YOKE? I heard it on the announcements and my friends thought it would be fun to go… so we went.
What’s your favorite part of YOKE club and why? I love that we have a theme every week and it is fun to dress up
How many camps have you been to? Which ones? I have been every year since I was in middle school, and as a future folk, and now as a Yoke leader… which means i have been to superhero, hillbilly, western, and boot camp, as well as working at summer c camp…
What’s your favorite YOKE camp? boot camp – I like it because it was the messiest one and it was so much fun!
What’s your favorite part of camp and why? being with other schools and field games because it is fun to do the crazy games with all the kids at once.
What has your leader taught you? To keep my head held high and don’t let other’s comments bother me.
How has YOKE impacted your life? It has kept me involved with God and kept me following the right path! What decision (if any) have you made for Christ while in YOKE? I got saved while I was in middle school and knowing my YOKE leader would always be there.
Anything else you want to tell us about YOKE? I am now a YOKE folk at Whittle Springs with my YOKE folk that was my YOKE leader. We have a blast and now I get to spend time with midldle schoolers just like my leaders did with me.
