Background: Involving family members in a fun activity is a great way to expose them to the idea that the Order of the Arrow doesn’t just involve stealing away to camp once a month only to return dirty and tired. Have the Chapter host a potluck picnic and volleyball game to involve family members in a fun outdoor activity.

Meeting Resources: Secure a central location with access to facilities for outdoor dining and sand volleyball, if possible. Look to a local or state park; often, these parks have the resources you’re looking for. The Chapter should provide meat, condiments, paper/plastic products, and ice, while families will bring either a side dish, drink, or dessert.

Meeting Content: The goal of this meeting is simply to fellowship with each others’ families and provide a fun atmosphere to mingle, eat great food, and even have a competitive game of volleyball! Chapter members should bring their families and friends to enjoy an afternoon during good weather. 
The highlight is a youth vs. adult volleyball game. Everyone can play! Follow the OA limits for youth and adults (20 and younger are youth, 21 and older are adults). With a large number of participants, they can rotate in and out so everyone can play. Establish the scoring rules before the game, and play to 21, best 3 out of 5. Making this an annual event will guarantee that the competition will heat up from year to year!
