Term 1 Halfway Done

     The past two days at camp have been incredible. We had a relaxing Sunday morning followed by a soccer tournament and then watched the US play Portugal in a thrilling World Cup match. I haven't seen that much energy from a group of people watching a sporting event in a long long time.
     Today marked our sixth day of trips. Three guys signed up for mountain biking today, so with such a small group we were able to ride really hard. It was a great day on the bikes.

Cabin 1 campers Thomas and Colton, Cabin 6 camper Michael, Hannah (our awesome head kitchie), and my brother Sam (cabin 3 counselor)

It was another great day on the bike!

Tent City

Before all of these awesome Term 1 campers arrived, we had the grand honor of hosting 270 people here on our Kivu property. In order to make room for our new visitors, the Kivu staff moved into what we fondly nicknamed "tent city." After a full week of trekking into the woods to sleep in hammocks and tents, I think our staff is closer than they've ever been. It was a bonding experience to say the least, and I speak for the entire Kivu staff when I say, we are beyond excited to welcome 800 new campers into this community!

Here are a couple pictures from our week in "tent city"...

Just Another Day in Paradise

We've got a saying here in Durango. When someone you know approaches you and says, "How's it going," the answer is inevitably, "Just another day in Paradise!"

We started yesterday with a little treetops action as we put the kids 60 feet in the air to experience the high life at KIVU.

Then we took a little tube trip down the river for a relaxing break. There's nothing like tubing the Los Pinos with new friends.

And Paradise wouldn't be complete without a couple of friends to share it with. All smiles. All around.

Every day at KIVU is another day in PARADISE!! Last night we had our GRID party, and the kids were having a BLAST! We started in the Lantz and introduced them to two rival DJ's. They went up to the gym for a little 'disc war' TRON style, and then danced the night away.

Keep checking back, as we'll be uploading different pictures and videos here at KIVU TODAY!

You're Missing Out

I'm just telling you, if you're out there looking for something to do this summer, or if you're already fed up with the summer blues; you're missing out. The lake is up and running, full of water, and the sounds of KIVU are echoing off the canyons. Jet Skis, Wakeboarders, and Blobbers, are having the time of their lives!!!

We've still got some spaces open for the summer. If you're sitting at home wishing you were having fun, click on over to http://www.campkivu.com and reserve yourself a place here in Colorado. We're ready to host you and show you the most exciting 13 days of your summer.
