There’s no app for that!

You've got to be here.

As these photos and videos will show you, there actually isn’t an app for this experience! You can’t login remotely and you can’t join us via Google hangout - it just wouldn’t be the same. You have to be here; doing it, living it, being a part of it.

So, go ahead and explore our videos and images. Then, make us part of your story using #jkcp.

What will your favorite moment be?
