Dear Parents, Hello. I would like to first thank you for your interest in Kodiak Baptist Mission, and the programs we offer. Without you and your children our programs would not exist. 2018 will mark my sixth summer with KBM. During these past five years I have served in many different capacities, and it is my honor to step into the position of Summer Camp Director this year. I definitely have huge shoes to fill, but have a fantastic team to work with. With a change in leadership you always find a change in how things are done. That being said Summer Camp will look a bit different than in the past. We feel these will be changes for the positive, and will still offer a summer camp experience your child will talk about all year long. With more time devoted to Bible exploration, expect to see your child grow in spirituality and confidence. You will also notice a difference in our registration options, so pleases look them over carefully. I look forward to working with your family and hope to see you all at one or all of or Summer Family Events. Sincerely, Josh Bell Summer Camp/Outdoor Programs Director Here are a few quick and easy tips to help prepare you and your child for Summer Day Camp. - If this is your child's first time coming to camp take a little time to sit down and go over the daily schedule attached in this packet. Let them know they will have great summer counselors that are always there to help and talk. -Please send your child prepared for camp. Check out the "What to Bring To Camp" section for a list of daily items. - Before your child can attend camp all the required paperwork must be turned in as well as camp payment made -Please keep your eyes open for emails from our team or sign up to receive reminder texts

The first two days campers will be taken to Woody in the morning and return that afternoon. On Wednesday they return to Woody to start their two night adventure where they see what goes into keeping a horse full time. Campers will also take to the trails for a pack camp away from basecamp.
