Dates: August 30 to September 4, 2018
Details: Join the gathering of KIS alumni and friends at Camp Kirchenwald in Colebrook, PA over Labor Day weekend.
It’s that time of year again when you can leave all your troubles behind and escape to Camp Kirchenwald to hang out with all of your old and new friends from the KIS community and beyond. Come join us for the full five days, for one day, for a meal or two, whatever your schedule allows. Camp Kirchenwald is a beautiful wooded camp just east of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that will supply something for everyone, from lots of picnic tables to just sit around and catch up with old friends and make new ones, often while chopping veggies, to dekshis of curry over open flames that need stirring, to hearing updates on KIS from Principal and alum Corey Stixrud, to beautiful trails for walking, running, hiking or biking, to ziplining and wall-climbing, hanging out at the pool, playing or cheering on at the volleyball court, dancing at canteen, singing around the campfire – always surrounded by constant sounds of chatting and laughter.
For those staying overnight, you can choose from large cabins with bunk buds to large cabins with single beds to small cabins with single beds to Adirondacks to your own tents. In other words, there is plenty of room for you! Unfortunately, Schreiber Haus is sold out.

If you fly into Harrisburg airport or take the train to the Elizabethtown station, let Rani Maloney know and she can arrange rides for you. If you are flying in and renting a car or driving your own car, and would like to give someone a ride, let her know that also – 609-731-6699 or on Facebook.

I can guarantee it will be a wonderful and memorable experience, and a reminder of just how unique and special our experiences and the friendships made at Kodai School are. Please do join us!
