How to be a great....

Hey K2 Staff! We are so excited to see you all VERY soon! Get excited for an unbelievable summer! Here is a just a glimpse of what God has in store for each of you at K2 for the summer of 2011....... 


****IMPORTANT REMINDER**** For you lovely ladies that will be serving in our office or dining hall the last 4 weeks of summer, it is not mandatory for you to attend staff training. If you have made arrangements to attend, please let Trish know by E-mail. Trish@kanakuk.com
KITCHIE
You're going to be a KITCHIE?!?! That is so SWEET! You're going to have a blast hanging out with girls your own age - living life and serving together! You are truly a special part of kamp - kamp won't happen without you!

Get ready to work hard and play hard! Be sure to bring lots of fun hats and bandanas because you will have to keep your hair covered...lets be honest, nobody looks better in hats than K2 Kitchikomos! And if you want to bring some fun table decorations for your adopted cabins they will love it! No pressure though because there are LOTS of ways to be a loving kitchie! Get ready to serve kamp and hang out with some of the coolest teens around!




COUNSELOR
Be a FRIEND
F - Have FUN with your kampers! Be silly, wear crazy costumes, play in the rain, laugh and participate with the kids!


R - Be RESPONSIBLE, RELATIONAL and REAL. Our teens appreciate vulnerability.  


I - Always uphold your INTEGRITY and remember that you are serving the kingdom at K2! Never pass up a chance to be INTENTIONAL with your kampers! 


E - Get EXCITED about all activities (even the awesome hot weather) so that you can be a boost of ENTHUSIASM and constant ENCOURAGEMENT!


N - NEVER BE WITHOUT KIDS! As a counselor, you should always be where your kids are!


D - Be DEDICATED to your kampers and to His calling you to a summer of ministry. Remember that God does not call the equipped, He equips the called. Be DISCIPLINED in your daily quiet times and rely on the Lord for energy so that you can continue to share Christ with our K2 girls!






OFFICE GIRL
Why it’s GREAT to be an Office Girl:
Well….if I really listed all the reasons why being an Office Girl is AWESOME I would be typing this when Jesus came back…which in all reality might be tomorrow but you get the drift! Being an Office Girl in my humble opinion is THE. BEST .JOB. AT. KAMP. PERIOD. As an Office Girl you get to SERVE behind the scenes and have a blast doing it. Office Girls spend the summer studying the Word of God, memorizing it (well verses…not the whole thing but we can try!) and becoming doers of the Word in the K2 office (throwin’ a little James at y’all since we are studying it this summer). Everything we do in the office helps kamp run smoothly! Office Girls are a vital part of kamp because we allow counselors and other staff to stay focused on the main purpose of kamp…THE KIDS! The best feeling an Office Girl can have is seeing a kamper come to Christ and knowing that in some way they were a part of that decision! Whether it was smiling when you gave that kamper a letter or being patient with that kamper when they were not so patient. An Office Girl has the incredible opportunity of witnessing by loving a kamper through their service. There is seriously no better job on earth!

How to be a GREAT Office Girl:
By following the example of Jesus! The book of Matthew says “But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” SERVE! SERVE! SERVE! SERVE! A great Office Girl is constantly looking for ways to serve her peers, the kids coming in and out of the office, and the leadership at Kamp! The office is the first place that many kampers and parents come! We set the tone for kamp…THIS. IS. A. BIG. DEAL. A great Office Girl treats everyone that comes into the office with respect, love, and kindness; showing no partiality (as James says…of course)! The office can be crazy and there can be a lot going on at one time! A great Office Girl keeps her calm under pressure and a smile on their face! A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important aspect of what makes a great Office Girl!!!!
