Staff Tips
Time Off
Turn Off
We Love Laundry
Trunk It
If you pack your stuff in a trunk, just make sure it is less than 15 1/2 inches tall or that thing won’t fit under the bed. Big duffle bags or large suitcases are pretty cool too.
Modesty
Modesty is in style here at Kamp. Double check what you’re packing! Athletic attire and modest clothing is a must! Girls, tempo type shorts, T-shirts, and one piece speedo type swimsuits (nothing low cut) are ideal. Tank tops must cover bras and bellies. Leggings must be covered. Guys, no low shorts that show underwear. It is our heart to model clothing that is appropriate and honors each other.
Costumes
Don’t be that person without a fun party costume this summer. Grab those fun sunglasses, crazy outfit, and that wild mask. It’ll be awesome! See your Kamp’s parties at KanakukParties.com.
Caving
If you are working at K-2 this summer, bring an old pair of jeans and long sleeve shirt for caving. You won’t want them after you are done.
Music
We love music but we only play explicitly Christian music at Kamp. All smart phones, iPads, and computers are turned in to the office at the beginning of your employment term.
It’s Party Time!
