And the Winner is...

I am not surprised.

In our most recent poll, the voters voted, the world responded, and the winner was selected. Our readers said that Kamp Coffee Cake is the best meal served at kamp. It's hard not to agree. Sunday's are always filled with the aroma of a good batch of hot melting pieces of that cinnamon crunch sitting on top of the perfect breakfast cake. You add in some extra sleep, and some fun afternoon activities that we don't normally get to do, and you have a recipe like none other.

At Kwest, it has been a long standing tradition to make Sunday special. After all, it is the day of rest according to the Lord's plan of creation. When He was finished, He sat back, reflected on His creation, and then gave us a model to follow for weekly rest.

Spike White was once admonished by his local pastor when confronting him about his lack of attendance at the Sunday services. This was during our formative years when camps were being built rather quickly, certainly short handed, and Spike had no time to stop in between hammer swings. When his pastor reminded him that "even the Lord rested on the 7th day" Spike's response was simply "That's because He was finished."

That story makes me chuckle. I do know that a tradition Spike helped pass along was with hot coffee cake. At our flag ship camp in the early years, the first 10 kids out of bed to the meet at the fountain, found a plate of hot coffee cake waiting for them. Ahhh...the spoils of victory and an early rise.

The walk down our camp memory lane is always fun. Whether you came last year, or yesteryear, coffee cake is one tradition we can agree makes Kwest the Greatest Place on planet earth!
