Thank You

Thursday, August 18, 2011

Well, it is hard to believe that Summer 2011 has crossed the finish line.  It is always so sad to see the big red barn doors close one final time as everybody heads back home. 

Summer 2011 was an awesome summer!  It is hard to put into words what a great summer it was.   So many memories made.  So many friendships formed.  So many lives changed. 

We are so thankful…

Off and Running at K-Kountry

Yesterday, we hit the ground running here at K-Kountry with our first full day of activities.  We jumped in the pool, rode some waterslides, and even managed to pick up a few goodies at the kamp store.

Last night was tribal night here at K-Kountry.  This night of wonder was full of tribal spirit as the Kickapoo’s, Kiowa’s, Choctaw’s, and Cherokee’s welcomed the 1st year kampers into their tribe.
