CCK’s Physical Disabilities Summer Campers are out fishing, boating, horseback riding, enjoying music and art therapy, and making life-time memories right now! These children are able to do all of these things because of generous supporters like The Avril Lavigne Foundation who provided us with a generous grant in support of our Physical Disabilities Summer Camp, as well as provided Lyme disease awareness materials and tick-remediation services (in conjunction with their partners at Global Lyme Alliance and Ivy Oak Analytics), to help educate our families and keep our campers safer! How AWESOME is that? We would like to sincerely thank The Avril Lavigne Foundation for embracing CCK’s mission and supporting our courageous kids! CCK could not do what we do without individuals, like Avril Lavigne, who have a heart for the kids we serve!
It's been a fun packed two weeks of Summer Camp at CCK. We have tons of activities here on camp, but we specifically wanted to highlight our Highway to Healing Music Program.
The first week of camp, CCK campers got to write a song with Nashville songwriters Jordan Reynolds, Jordan Minton, and Artist Nick Wayne to the tune of “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors. Seeing these inspirational artist sing with such passion with our campers was amazing. The music didn't end there! In our second week of summer camp, Waterloo Revival, was joined by solo artist Terell Davy, to write lyrics that came straight from the hearts of our campers.
Music truly feeds the soul and brings healing in so many ways. We are so thankful to these artist for taking time out of their busy schedules to come and inspire our courageous kids.
CCK was out and about today visiting some of the stores who are participating in the annual Houchens Industries Mobile Program. We are asking our community to be sure to stop in one of the participating Houchens IGAs, IGA, IGA Crossroads, Priceless Foods, Jr. Foods and Shell locations and donate $1.00 to help these stores finish the program strong. Every $1.00 benefits our Courageous Campers. You might get lucky and pop in on a day that a bakesale and cookout is going on too! Special thanks to Houchens Industries Inc for the ongoing support for our mission!
The excitment is still all around here at CCK about the Adventure Lodge Tree House. We wanted to share some photos of the grand opening with YOU!
