Erin and Kids Across America

June 27 we headed to Missouri to pick Erin up for 24 hours off. We had a chance to visit camp and see where she has been hanging out the last 2 summers.
KAA 2 is a non profit christian sports camp, associated with Kanukuk Camps. All the kids at KAA 2 are there on scholarship.

Erin is doing well; though this summer has been a greater struggle than last.
She is the women's program director. Which means she, along with 2 others on her team are in charge of all the evening events. Tonight, July 4, is a huge event at the camp. Some well known christian rappers will be there along with 2 other camps of kids!

It was ridiculously hot when we got there. Much like it has been in KS, but with 150% humidity! It had cooled down a couple of days and hopefully they are getting some cooler weather now. There is no AC at this camp!

The pictures below are of the set up for the "Hollywood party" and the end of the day flag ceremony.

Just to the left of the porch I am standing on watching the flag ceremony is a large dinner bell. When a kid accepts Christ as their Savior they go to the bell and ring it. It is heard through out the camp grounds. Everyone stops what they are doing and cheers! Two young men had just rung the bell, right before flag started!
