Donut Social











We had a donut social for our most experienced Kampers. Here is the pictures from that time. It was fun to hear why they love coming to camp!

Also, As I walk through the mailroom every day I am amazed at all the mail that comes in for these kiddos! You moms are incredible. I thought I would let you know a few ideas for a fun package at kamp.


Kanakomo Fun Package Options
Cross Stitching String for making Friendship bracelets
Silly Bands (you can get these at walmart)
Blank T-Shirt to have their friends sign on it (or a pillow case)
Fake Flowers and Elastic Headbands to make flower head bands
Nail Polish
Lip Gloss
Battery Operated Fan
Picture from home
Good Book


Hope this helps!

Yuk Fight

Today we had a Yuk Fight at K-1. You are asking yourself probably...what is "Yuk"? It comes in a small powdered box and it takes one cup of powder to 6 pitchers of water. Its fabulous. It comes out as this clear, slimy substance that is so fun to squish your hands in and soooo fun to throw. Its completely biodegradable, non-toxic, wont hurt you if you get it in your eyes or eat it. (although probably not tasty...) Whats even better is that it is easy to clean and it comes right off of any clothing! Just a hose bath away from clean! I have heard it is actually the substance in diapers. (The stuff that absorbs the moisture when a diaper is soaked) The crazy thing is that it comes in all textures...slimy, gooey, sticky...the list goes on. How we found this...I am not sure, but anything for your kids.

Galactica Spectacula Party

We had our Galactic Spectacula PArty. Because of rain we didn't get to do the "yuk" fight but we did it this morning. I will have footage soon. We had a dance party in the partybarn with lots of neon and glow in the dark. Today we had our first Klinic Day. It was really fun. The kids got to do the sport of their choice all morning and then we had the "yuk" fight. What is "Yuk" you might ask? Stay tuned to find out!

I'm 3rd Sunday

Hey this is Kristen Cole standing in for Jennifer Farley. The first Sunday of each term is what we like to call "I'm 3rd Sunday". We get the opportunity to hear from Joe White (president of Kanakuk Kamps). This morning he shared the story of our namesake, Chief Kanakuk. His name means the loved one and he earned his name by serving others in everything that he did. Joe connected that story to other stories about living the I'm third life (God first, others second and yourself third). Some of his stories were about specific kamp kids and how they lived their life for Christ. His final story was about Kamp legend Johnny Ferrier and how he sacrificed his life to save others. All of the stories related back to Christ and how he is the perfect example of putting God 1st and others 2nd. We love I'm 3rd Sunday because it sets the tone for how we want to live our life at Kamp as well as when we walk out of the gates!

Opening Day

Yesterday we welcomed our second term campers (3rd term two weeks) to K-1. We had a lot of fun yesterday! Our theme is amplified and when they got off the bus they found that they were rockstars! They got to go back stage and then get on stage to amp it up.

They found out who their counselors were. Then we had a picnic and then we headed to K-Life.

Here is the video
