parenting group ideas

I am helping with my parish youth group and we are looking for events to fill up our calendar any ideas?
most of the kids are between the ages of 13 and 16 the activities dont have to be service projects but they can be some things we have already done are:
blue berry picking
gone to blue bayou
had a lockout and went to the bowling alley and laser tag
had a parents day out and babysat children
we are also looking for a fun place to go for our summer trip next year if you have any ideas of fun places to go with a lot to do we already talked about disney world and austin texas
My church has a small-ish youth group, but here’s some of what we do
Fall:
scavenger hunts
car rallies
corn maze
trick or treat together
raking/yardwork for elderly congregation members
cottage weekend
Winter:
Snow war
Movie Marathon
Food Bank/Shelter
Hunger Strike for charity
Make dinner for the whole congregation ( we do spaghetti )
Spring:
Plant flowers
Mall scavenger hunt
New skills nights (scrapbooking, graphics, whatever)
Book Club
Summer:
Car Wash
Beach days
Summer trips ideas:
Cedar Point/Six Flags
Disney
Consider a trip with Habitat for Humanity or an organization like that. You can see a foreign country, and help people!
