K2 Term 45 & Term 5 Closing Ceremonies...

(I have no idea why this image says "that swede" on it. i just thought it was cute b/c we say hello to you all when you arrive for closing and then quickly say goodbye)
Hey K2 Kanakuk Parents,
Well, here is the rundown of the closing ceremonies for K2  for this term (August 10 & 11).

FRIDAY, AUGUST 10:
5:45 pm     Parents Luggage Pick up NO PICNIC
6:15 pm     Parents Dessert, Kanakuk Store Open, Information booths open
                 (Your kamper will come out and meet you at this time)
6:45 pm     Family Vespers with Dr. Joe White @ K-Dome (our basketball courts)
7:30 pm     Kamper Recognition (you are with just your daughter's cabin to hear about what 2 qualities the counselors saw in her and meet the counselors, etc)
8:00 pm     Tribal Flag Raising
8:30 pm     Awards Ceremony @ K-Dome
10:00 pm.  GOOD NIGHT!

Just so you all know K2 does EVERYTHING on Friday night. All Saturday morning is the kids wake up super early to super clean their cabin and we feed the kampers that are still here breakfast and then you all arrive and pick them up...

SATURDAY, AUGUST 11:
8:15 am     Parents Luggage Pick up
9:00 am     Kampers get picked up and say Good bye!

That's the detailed breakdown. Hope it helps to know our schedule and after Friday night's awards ceremony you just have to sign a sheet to check your daughter out which we will have a table conveniently located in the K-dome so you all can leave Friday night if need be. If you pick your daughter up Saturday morning there is no sign out sheet needed.

August 6...


Hey K2 Kanakuk Parents,
Well, it's been beautiful weather around here after the few days of rain. Today was just gorgeous. It was very sunny but the humidity was down! Praise the Lord! This preggo woman swam today with Triathlete with her clothes on (I forgot the ole bathing suit so just rocked my tshirt and shorts)...that is how much the pool feels amazing!

Devo: Reread Esther
Verse of the Day: Philippians 3:14

Morning: Normal morning of classes.

Afternoon: normal afternoon of classes.

Trips: no girls cabins are on trips.
Treetops: girls 3 & 4.

Night: K-LIFE TONIGHT! Dr. Joe White will be speaking tonight! His title is "Hunger Games" and honestly I am going to sit in there tonight to hear his message. I haven't heard this one yet this summer. I'm sure it's amazing! This is our last K-Life of the summer! What in the world!

I cannot believe this term and how fast it has gone. A quick update from last night...it was the most powerful CrossTalk. The bell (we have a bell that kids can ring to symbolize them giving their lives to Christ for the first time or re-committing their heart to Him) DID NOT stop ringing for so long! There was just a line of kids! It was awesome! One cabin had 6 girls come to know Jesus...that makes every crazy day out here worth it...even if it was just for those 6 gals. It was just so powerful and that is only because the Lord was so present! Thanks for your prayers!

August 5...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Parents,
Less than 1 week...wow! This is always a surreal moment in my world as we start to think of closing down but yet it feels like in some ways we just opened yesterday.

I will be posting closing ceremony schedule on here soon so you can have all the details. We do everything on Friday night. All that Saturday has is early wake up for kampers to clean their cabins super duper well and then breakfast for them and then you pick them up.

Devo: none.
Verse of the Day: none.

Morning: Sleep in late, optional coffee cake breakfast, church and then a long time to hang as a cabin and also write letters to you all.

Afternoon: CHILLAX TO THE MAX! Chillax Sunday is always a favorite but today we are amping it up. We have trams from the dock to the pool so they don't have to walk. Fresh fruit at the pool. Sno cones at the slip-n-slide. A floating dock of coke, dr.pepper that kids can float out to in the middle of the lake. All in all it's like the best day ever!

Trips: none.
Treetops: none.

Night: CROSSTALK! This is a huge night! We have an amazing crosstalk with the theme of Passover being what we center it around. We have 4 kampers sharing their stories about when Jesus became their Passover Lamb of their own hearts. Then Joe reenacts the crucifixion and then we give kids time to worship, sing, pray and for their hearts to open up to Jesus. It is a powerful night and if your daughter doesn't know Jesus please join with me in praying for just that...salvation. That has been a key word for my summer. I feel like it's on the tip of my tongue at all moments...please just join us in praying.

Sure can't wait to see all of you!

Hey K2 Kanakuk Parents,
Well, it continues to be an amazing term...I did forget to mention we had quite the storm blow through on Wednesday (I blogged a bit ahead and so am just now getting to real time). Anyways, we had 3 rounds of hail in a matter of 2 hours. All kids were safe and are safe but if your child was on the lake/dock it was pretty crazy. But again all is safe and Joe, Shay and the dock daddies were AMAZING!!!!! It was like a well oiled team out there that was working to risk, well, risk safety of themselves for all the kampers in the middle of the lake. It was just amazing to see afterwards how the Lord preserved us! We had some branches down but none hit cabins or people. It cooled kamp down a bit and again everyone is safe!

Devo: Genesis 50:20, Deuteronomy 23:5, Psalm 30:11, Romans 8:28
Verse of the Day: Romans 8:28

Morning: normal morning of classes 1-3.

Afternoon: normal morning of classes 4-6.

Trips: Cabins 9 and 10 are at K-Wet.
Treetops: Cabins 11 and 12.

Night: K-LIFE TONIGHT! The best speaker in the whole world! Shay Robbins!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm a bit biased and super jazzed up as I have had 2 amazing conversations of kampers asking great questions about Jesus...it's just amazing! Anyways, tonight Shay is talking about discipleship. It's going to be great...

1 week! What!!!!!

We had singers, dancers, and lots of random random acts too! The kids laugh a ton and it's so cool to see the kampers have a night that they are the entertainment!
