This quote by John Muir is the most fitting summary of what the Kivu gang has been up to. Here's a photo-chronicle of the past week or so:
Once our high school group headed home to Arizona, we welcomed some old Kivu vets back for our traditional Alumni Weekend. We always head to Silverton to catch the finish of the Iron Horse Classic (which our very own Tamara dominated) and enjoy some incredible views of the Lord's handiwork.
By Sunday we were pretty experienced "cheerers", and we had the chance to put our new skills to use in a few more races. Peter ran in the Narrow Gauge 10 mile run, and one of our vets rode in the mountain bike race through town. Both did outstanding!
Nothing like a little Bieber music to get Peter smiling around mile 7.
Monday marked the end of Alumni Weekend, so about 16 of us headed into the backcountry for a 3-day trip in the Weminuche Wilderness. Soaking up God's creation is a great way to bond as a staff, and the pictures are only a small glimpse of the beauty seen and the memories made.

Cheers!
The rest of staff arrived yesterday, and the excitement around camp is palpable. We've had a great time thus far, but the best is yet to come....campers! You've seen the beauty, so hurry up and get here. The mountains are calling.
In Him,
Emily
