Hey K2 Kanakuk T23 Parents,
Today is quite the different day! The girls are getting ready for KARNIVAL, which is this longstanding tradition that the Kiowas and Kickapoos put on a karnival and dance routine for the guys' side of K2. It's so much fun and the girls have a blast performing it!

Devo: Ephesians...Unity in the Body of Christ.

Morning. Instead of their classes all the girls split into their tribes and work on Karnival during the morning time. There are groups dancing, painting banners, working on the carnival games. It's a fun day of just fellowship with the kiddos and their tribes.

Afternoon: We have 2 hours of specialty during the afternoon since we didn't get to meet during the morning. It's a blast and gives the 14 night gals one last specialty time.

Treetops: Girls cabins 7&8 are on treetops this morning.

Night: This night we actually are trying something new. We are going to split the kampers and have the 28 night kids have a worship K-Life. Basically just praising, singing the whole time. The 14 night kampers are going to have CrossTalk. Crosstalk is usually just done 1 time per 28 night term. So we are doing it both 2 weeks so that every group of 2 weekers can see CrossTalk. The hubs and guys team has put together a great night that prayerfully will be a night to point the 14 nighters to the CROSS and to Jesus' love for each of them. He is going to have 6 folks share their story and their point of brokeness when they surrendered their hearts to Jesus. They will all have a piece of cardboard (this idea was from a church that did "carboard testimonies") and the speaker will flip their cardboard to show how the Lord has redeemed them. REDEMPTION is the theme of CrossTalk this year. Please pray for your sweet girl if her heart doesn't quite see a need for a Savior. Prayerfully tonight she will see and feel that need...

Hey K2 Kanakuk T23 Parents,
I can't believe Term 2 parents will be here in a matter of days! Crazy! Summer is flying! It's Wednesday, which always means POD day!

Devo: Galations...Freedom!

Morning: You can check back to June 22nd to learn all about POD days but basically your daughters have chosen another morning pod to do for this day. THEY LOVE POD DAYS! Like seriously love them!

Afternoon: Again, they have chosen an afternoon pod day.

Trips/Treetops: No one is on treetops or trips because it's POD day! Woohoo!

Night: K-LIFE TONIGHT! Dr. Joe White will be bringing the WORD on Purity! This is a HUGE night for the girl side of kamp. They are reminded that the Lord is their King and they are royalty. They hear of forgiveness for those who have let things go too far. They hear encouragement for girls who have walked purely and setting great standards. Each girl prayerfully hears a message that they are PRICELESS and worth a bizzillion, cazillion diamonds! MORE! Please be praying for this sweet night...

Hey K2 Kanakuk T23 Parents,
What a day! I just got done having an unbelievealbe God moment with a precious gal. This gal is so hurting from the lack of any great, godly friends in her life. She was so precious as we talked and she finally let down some walls and beginning to see freedom and not angry...GOODNESS, my heart feels so humbled that the Lord uses this crazy kamp to do anything of value! So thankful for you all!

Devo: 1 Corinthians...The Race for the Crown.

Morning: Normal morning periods 1-3. No cabins were on treetops.

Afternoon: Normal morning periods 4-6.

Trip: Cabins 17 and 18 are headed out to KWet. They left this morning and get to spend a couple days doing awesome stuff. I am praying for great cabin bonding and lots of laughter and memories.

Night: K-LIFE TONIGHT! Woohooo! One of the leadership guys named Adam spoke tonight about Fingerprints tonight. Whose fingerprints are on your heart, on your cell phone, internet, home? The enemy works hard to put fingerprints in our hearts and lives and the Lord and His Word is so powerful to remove all those fingerprints that aren't of the Lord.

Hey K2 Kanakuk T23 Parents,
Wonderful weather and crazy kids! That is the perfect equation for...AWECREPIC-ness! Here is the rundown of the day...hope you all are doing great!

Devo: Luke...Jesus, Lord Over All

Morning: POD DAY. We started something new this year called Wednesday Pod Days. Basically it's to break up the routine of their every day normal schedule. Each kamper got to sign up for a morning pod and an afternoon pod. PODs are special classes and out of the norm of kamp. It might be Pool fun and sun but instead of just normal pool fun and sun it's "Kanakuk Resort" and our staff wears uniforms, brings ice cold water to each kamper all 3 hours, and delivers a tropical smoothie with a straw with fruit on it. So it's all about memories and making it special. Here are some pod choices (I know I won't be able to remember them all):
* caving
* kayak/bluff jumping
* great questions
* canoe/bluff jumping
* sail/waverunners/blob
* pool/waterslides
* sam's throne (rapelling mountain)
* missions (they go and do a service project at Kids Across America)
* dogwood canyon (they do a nature walk at dogwood canyon)
* cheer
* strength and conditioning (they do this video called "Insanity" and work out)
Okay, that's all I can remember...

Afternoon: Pod day continued with their afternoon pod choice.

Night: K-LIFE TONIGHT! Dr. Joe White is speaking to them now and it's his outdoor creation talk. It's awesome to be up on the field under the majestic stars and to hear of the Creator. To know that God created the whole earth but also intimately created each girl and guy sitting up there...wow!

I am headed on a day off tomorrow to Friday. So please forgive if  I don't post till Friday night...hope you are enjoying the window to their world.
