We’re already well into August and what an incredible summer it has been so far at Qwanoes. We even had a rain-free July! We are so thankful for everyone that has come and for all that has happened… and we’re not done yet! We can’t wait to welcome everyone who is still coming this summer.
The last couple of weeks have been filled with campers and staff experiencing life like no other together at Juniors #2 and Jr. High #4. Our leadership training programs are going strong with many high school students taking part in Step-Out and our second group of CIT’s are in the first week of their program right now. Our LIT’s have already had their focused week of training and they are playing an integral role on our summer staff team.
Camp is in full swing and it’s a pretty exciting place to be right now!
