Philosophy

Kanakuk Kamps is a non-denominational Christian-based summer camp organization. Beginning in 1926, the staff and leadership of Kanakuk Kamps strove to live in a way that reflects the life of Jesus Christ. Through excellence in sports training, camping experiences, and Christian mentoring, Kampers learn the joy of a relationship with Christ. The scripture; "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul...love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22) is foundational in our mission. We are far from perfect, but we diligently pursue a Christ-like life so that Kampers might pursue it as well. Through nightly cabin devotionals, counselor and kamper one-on-one time, youth rally style (age appropriate) talks, Bible studies, and consistent Christian counseling in a heart softening atmosphere of exhilarating fun, the heart of a child grows stronger during their time at Kanakuk. It is our sincere hope that what they take from here will be shared with the World.

Thank you for your interest in Kanakuk Kamps! No amount of text could begin to describe the efforts Kanakuk leadership and staff take to keep the Word of God a central focus of our Kamps.
