All in the life of a camper! See you there!
Fun is at the top of our priority list!
Kiowa’s daily schedule has been carefully and intentionally orchestrated to get the most out of every day. For example, mornings tend to be geared toward thinking, creating and many of our outdoor activities. Afternoons lean toward more air-conditioned times and swimming and group activities.
We eat lunch 30 minutes prior to the normally (11:30am) because we know the kids have played hard. They are ready to eat, enjoy some K-bo (see the “Discovery of the 5 guiding principles”) with their cabin mates, and rest for a short while.
Regardless of the activity, rest assured the decisions regarding our daily schedule have been made with tremendous intention.
Let us know if you have any questions!
