The Mission of Kanakuk Kamps

Kanakuk Kamps' motto is "Exciting Adventure in Christian Athletics."

Kanakuk Kamps is not like typical summer camps. We incorporate the best of sports camps and the best of Christian camps together with 2,500 hand-picked, dedicated, kid-loving Christian athletic staff to offer your child a summer camping experience like no other.

In our Christian camps, Kampers fill their summer with lots of sports and activities that they just can't find anywhere else. But more importantly, we focus on the Christian element in athletics.

We teach kids how to have a Christ-like attitude in relationships and in different situations, but mostly on the field and on the courts. Our summer camps aren’t just about strengthening bodies; they're about preparing hearts.

Kanakuk is based on four main principles:

  • I'm Third
    God First...Others Second...I'm Third
  • Four Square Life
    "And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man." -- Luke 2:52
  • Let Your Light So Shine
    "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." -- Matthew 5:16
  • A Rock at a Time
    Big things may be accomplished - one small step after another.

Kampers at Kanakuk participate in activities each day that instill the truth and power of these principles. Our prayer is that Kampers form habits that will sustain them not only at Kamp but also in their homes and schools.
