When you hear the word “Kanakuk” you might smile and think of a summer camp for kids.
Even if you’re one of the thousands of campers who have attended these exciting Christian sports camps or a parent who’s sent your kids to camp, you might be surprised at the scope of our activities and involvement. From one twelve-week long boys camp back in 1926, Kanakuk has grown and expanded over the years to include a family of affiliated ministries.

Kids Across America

(www.kidsacrossamerica.org)

This Christian sports camp committed to reaching the urban youth of our nation with the love and power of Jesus. With the vision of reaching more than 100,000 kids in the next decade to revolutionize inner city America, KAA began in 1978 using Kanakuk Kamp's facilities. Eventually, the first camp, KAA I, was built and opened in 1991, and the number of urban youth and adult leaders served has grown every year!

Youth Ministry Training Institute

Kanakuk Institute

(www.k-institute.org)

This specialized youth ministry training program for post graduates was launched in May of 2002. As selected college graduates participate in classroom sessions and internships under the leadership of youth specialists, unique emphasis is placed on the integration of knowing the scriptures and practical application. Significant components of the year-long program include a community learning environment where mentoring and accountability are stressed. It is envisioned that these future leaders will impact the youth culture across America, ultimately equipping the next generation to reach the world for Christ.

Disciple Youth Ministry
