A Day in the Life at Kamp

A typical day at Koinonia goes something like this: 

7:00 a.m. Time to wake up. That gives us about thirty minutes to get ready.

First thing we do every morning is Quiet Time. This is a 15-minute opportunity to kind of clear our heads. It’s a great time to do your daily Bible reading, pray, and just spend a moment or two enjoying some peace of mind. 

Right after this, everyone gathers for some low-impact exercises. Don’t worry, these are more about fun than cardio.  

Breakfast is at 8:00 a.m. 

After a little bit of clean-up, we go to two Bible classes with a short break between. We have several teachers who present lessons based on the theme.

Before lunch we sing a few songs and go right into Court. Campers are brought up on charges ranging from burping to snoring. 

After lunch, everyone gets a chance to rest. Then it’s off to recreation. This includes a variety of activities. On Wednesday, we go for a hike. On Thursday, we divide into two armies and have The Flour War. It’s basically Capture the Flag while throwing bombs made with cooking flour. 

Before dinner, we have Man to Man and Woman to Woman. This is an opportunity for campers to bring up subjects for discussion in a classroom setting. 

Dinner is followed by an assembly where we spend time focused on worshiping God in song and scripture. 

Before we even think about calling it a day, every night there is a different event. Monday—The Scavenger Hunt (Who has the weirdest socks? Who has the coolest middle name?). Tuesday—Underground Church (a game in which Christianity is against the law). Wednesday—The Great Jewel Hunt (think of it as an escape room that involves the whole campground). Thursday—The Staff Talent Show (staff humiliates themselves with their “talents”). Friday—The Camper Talent Show (also known as The Real Talent Show). 

We actually do sleep. That happens around 11:00 p.m.
