2015_December

I have been working at Kawkawa for 3 years now and over the
3 years that I have been here I have been able to see Kawkawa
grow in so many ways. The first year that I was at Kawkawa we
had an average of maybe 30-40 kids a week. For Senior Teens,
our high school group, we had around 15 kids signed up. This
year our average weeks had around 50-60 kids and we had 76
teens come to our Senior Teen camp! More and more kids are
coming to Kawkawa and they keep coming back.
I think that one of the most fun things about Kawkawa is seeing
kids you met last year come back for another week at camp.
Kawkawa is a smaller camp, but it means that you get the
opportunity to meet almost all the kids by the end of the week.
I think that I would have loved to have been a camper at
Kawkawa because each kid who comes is treated and loved as
an individual. All the staff know your name which makes you
feel so special.
Another way that Kawkawa is growing is in the staff. People
who were on work crew the first year I was here, washing
dishes and cleaning, are now becoming assistant counsellors,
doing the LIT program and sharing their faith with the campers.
I could talk about each of our staff members and point to a
specific way that I think they have grown over the years that I
have known them. God is working in the lives of out staff.
I am always excited to spend time at Kawkawa and I am
excited to see what God has planned for the future growth of
Kawkawa.
