Week 1: Fun with Friends!

On the first day of KSSP was a great start! We spent the morning playing games and getting to know each other. We had corn hole, bottle bowling, a jump house, a gesture game, a hand game, and hot potato. We ended our day with a great lesson by Hope Harbor about emotions and how to handle them. Here's some pictures of our first day of KSSP 2009!
