Artist rendering of the new "Sayso" online forums area being planned for the new kanakuk.com
In the 8+ years that I have worked at Kanakuk Kamps I have been most impressed by the parents, Kampers and staff that consider themselves part of the Kanakuk family. Never having been on staff or a Kamper myself I didn't know the depth of your passion, loyalty and strength. I've been blessed by parent's words of encouragement and wisdom, inspired by the stories of Kampers and sharpened by the dedicated service of the staff. It's a shame we haven't had more time to talk, to share, to connect and more closely live the Christian life together.
Sure we bump into each other at closing ceremonies or our kids drag us together over the years, but it can be so much more. I have a vision that Kanakuk Moms will trade life's moments, that Kanakuk Dads will give each other inside tips on making an impact, that our staff can keep us all fresh and encouraged, that kids can entertain us and more of it all the time. What a great community we have! You have so much to offer.
When we roll out the new kanakuk.com we'll have online forums; connecting points, discussions, and yes, connectersations! This area for Parents, Staff and the public will be called "Sayso" after a traditional camp meeting time where kids will share their experiences, stories, testimonies, often around a campfire.
So pull up a chair and prepare to share and connect with someone just like you, someone who gets what it is to be a part of Kanakuk. You'll help us all become better people and shine a light for the World to see.
Can you share this blog with someone you know today? Let them know that the Kanakuk forums will be for them too.
This is getting long but I just have to check with everyone and see how the school year is going. Leave a comment about your favorite school start-up story. Let's start to share today!

I love this idea! Thank you. This coming summer will be the 3rd year at kamp for our children. We have been made to feel like part of the Kanakuk family from the moment we walked our children through the gates of K-Kountry! Since then, we've been blessed with new friendships; directors, counselors, kampers and their families. Kanakuk is special for so many reasons and this truly being one of them! Looking forward to checking it out and connecting with other families that love this place and it's amazing people too.
Carlene - great to hear from you. My kids have gone to K-Kountry too. I know exactly what you are saying. Watch my blog this coming week. I just talked to Jeremy our web programmer and he said that early next week he should have the beta version of the new kanakuk.com ready. I'll do an extremely soft launch here on my blog and get some of you to help me give it a test run. Have a great rest of the week!
Your Twitter feed said you loaned out your truck as an experiment. Did it work? Did you get your truck back in one piece?
I wondered that also!
