Parents Day



We LOVE Parent's Day here at KIVU. Today at 4:00 the gates will open, and eager parents will drive in to meet their teenagers they haven't seen for 14 days. What a CELEBRATION!! It's such a blessing to see re-unions. The kids are pumped to show Mom and Dad what they've been up to here at KIVU, and we love showing off the beautiful facility here in Colorado.

One of my favorite moments is showing parents all the adventures they're kids have been doing. They've been rafting, rock climbing, biking, hiking, fishing, throwing parties, and getting to know students from around the world.

They've been dis-connected from the "real world" for 14 days, and they've had the chance to think about who they are, who they want to be, and how they want to go home and engage in the world.

All in all, this is one of my personal favorite nights of camp.

We can't wait to see you tonight KIVU families.
We're thankful for your trust.
We're honored you decided to send you most prize possessions off to Colorado for a couple of weeks.
And, we look forward to see how we can partner with you, as we continue to encourage teenagers to LOVE GOD, and LOVE OTHERS!

See you tonight!
