As we enter into spring at Camp Qwanoes the sights, sounds and smells of this beautiful season are among us. With several sunny days this past week, students have had a great opportunity to get out of their rooms and into the fresh air! As we start to round the last corner of the Kaléo Program, there are still many things left to experience.
Community Life
Though there are many scheduled and organized events during the Kaléo Program, sometimes students take it upon themselves to plan events like games, Nerf wars, fires on the beach, and even fancy dinners! Last Saturday, students and leaders dressed up for a fancy dinner at McDonalds as a fun way to celebrate Abigayle Lundbohm’s birthday! This was a great experience and a fun way to get out of camp for the evening. Big thanks to Anna Stark for organizing this event for Abigayle!
Last Class of the Year!
Today the Kaléo Program finished its last class of the year with Sid Koop! Camp and Youth Ministry is a class that students take throughout the year. Back in October, students took the first half of the class, then finished it off this week. With only a couple assignments left for them to complete, students are excited to be finished with their classes and move on towards graduation.
We Went Kayaking!
This week we loaded up the vans and headed to Nanaimo to go kayaking around Newcastle Island. Though most of spring on the West coast is full of rainy days, we were blessed with a beautifully sunny day for this adventure! When we arrived, students and leaders paired up and set out in tandem kayaks to enjoy the beautiful waters of downtown Nanaimo. Midway through our excursion we shared in a time of learning and prayer led by our program leader Andrew, who gave us words of encouragement as we looked towards the finish line of our time together in the Kaléo Program.
Please Be In Prayer
As we begin to wrap up, please pray for focus amongst our students as they complete their last assignments. Please also be praying that God will not only prepare their hearts for what is to come after the program, but also that they continue to grow and learn in their last two weeks at Qwanoes. Thanks again for your prayers and support, and we look forward to seeing some of you at graduation!
In Him,
Dustin Smith
Kaléo Program Intern, Camp Qwanoes
