And just like that, another KBIA summer is in the books. 💙

Thank you for filling KBIAland with laughter, friendship, courage, creativity, sandy feet, wet towels and so many moments we wish we could bottle up and keep forever.

As backpacks replace beach bags and everyone heads back to school, work and the routines of fall, we hope a little piece of this summer stays with you — the friendships made, the things you tried, the confidence you gained and the simple joy of being a kid by the sea.

Thank you for an unforgettable summer, KBIA. 💙 Until next year.

Our Songwriting Class takes the stage at our August Awards & Pizza Party with an original ode to one of KBIA’s greatest temptations: the Snack Shack! 🎶🍦🍭🍿 From candy and ice cream to all those can’t-resist treats, they captured the struggle perfectly.

As we head into our last week (a bonus Week 9 this year), the long, hard goodbyes have started, and it’s always so bittersweet. 💙 Hugs and smiles like these remind us just how special these summer days truly are.

We’ll hold onto these memories until next year—but we’re not quite ready to let go just yet. 📸: Emily Gannon
