The following are all of Kanakuk Kamps' summer camps / sports camps / Christian camps
/ adventure camps / family camps / retreats.
K-1
The Original Flagship Kamp Steeped In Tradition
Back in 1926, twenty boys from Texas and Oklahoma came here to this beautiful spot in the Ozarks for
an eight-week getaway. That grew into a summer long kamp – and in 1958 girl kampers were added and it’s
been prettier ever since! Now boys and girls from all fifty states and thirteen foreign countries come
for the same exciting adventure their mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and, yes, even some
great-grandfathers have experienced. They come to play on the same fields, walk the same trails and write
their names on the cabin walls for their children to read one day. K-1 is custom fitted for seven to thirteen
year olds who train in over two dozen high-energy sports and activities while learning to be more like Christ
in every aspect of their lives.
Mixed in with team sports such as football, volleyball and basketball are zip lines, barn swings, waterslides
and a tree house where kids can climb, rappel and even spend the night! Our carefully chosen counselors are
role models that parents applaud. Each child is encouraged individually and as part of a team to build
character, confidence, and a relationship with Christ. The experiences had here will last a lifetime –
and even into eternity. Continue the tradition with us this summer!
For Boys and Girls Ages 7-13

K-2
Teenager's Paradise With World-Class Sports And Activities
Thirteen or twenty-five days of high energy, intense training and large doses of world-class fun describe a
summer at K-2. Built as an oasis for teenagers, K-2 kampers come to play, train, laugh, learn and grow
so that they return to the tough world of teens refreshed physically, emotionally and spiritually. K-2
kampers can choose to sample from 25+ kamp activities or spend 3 of the 6 daily sessions in deep training
in their favorite sport. Each kamper will fill the rest of the day with ski class and other fun activities
like personal watercraft, sailboats, the blob, or climbing and rappelling on Mt. Harmon. And that’s just the start!
25-day term extras at K-2 include K-Wet, a 2-day camping adventure full of all out water skiing,
sailing and all things “Lakeside!” K-Wild is another overnight camping trip designed to take you back
to nature, back to high adventure, and back to God.
Directors Joe and Debbie-Jo White, Women’s Director, Trish Helsel, and Men’s Director, David Liggit,
handpick collegiate staff athletes who take the serious out of summer and put the fun in friendship.
When it comes to God, sports, and friendship, every minute counts and not a minute is wasted when YOU
come to K-2!

K-West
A Place Where Jr. High Kampers Feel Like Family
Longfellow said it best: “Ah, how good it feels to be in the hand of an old friend.” At K-West,
friendships, sports and Christian camping come together in a place Jr. High kids can call home summer
after summer after summer. The middle school years can be a turbulent roller coaster ride of peer
pressure and consequences. Let the K-West Leadership staff show you how to ride that coaster in
style!
At K-West, take your turn in nine specialty sports and over twenty-four elective sports and
activities during seven or thirteen days of exciting adventures. Choose from rappelling, skiing,
basketball, tennis, tumbling, wakeboarding, cheerleading, football, soccer, mountain biking, and
ultimate Frisbee, plus more, all coached and directed by our hand picked staff.
Directors Ward and Beth Wiebe, Todd and Bronwyn Rapp, and Kanakomo Director Alane “Spook” LeGrand,
carefully select a staff of collegiate athletes who love God, love sports and have a heart for Jr.
High kids! We can’t wait to have you join us for a spectacular trip! Ride in style with K-West this
summer!

K-Kountry
An Adventurous Beginning To The Happiest Place On Earth
Known as the “happiest place on earth,” K-Kountry is home to non-stop fun and excitement. Kampers between the ages of seven and eleven can come experience the wonder of K-Kountry during one of our two-week or one-week terms.
A K-Kountry day is filled with a party-like atmosphere where games and sports are abundant, sincere friends are everywhere, and hugs and laughter can be heard across the lake. Kampers will experience over 25 different activities such as archery, canoeing, swimming, blobbing, riding the zipline, or sliding down one of the wet-n-wild waterslides.
K-Kountry is the perfect introduction to the kamp experience for younger kampers. Younger kampers need a lot of reassurance and unconditional love, and that is exactly what they get at K-Kountry. For many kids, it is their first time away from home, so we hand-pick and train our staff to serve with Christ-like patience and sensitivity. Every child who walks through the gates of K-Kountry will feel loved and cherished. Most importantly, these young kampers at K-Kountry are shown what it means to be a true follower of Christ. Come experience the excitement of this incredible place!
For Boys and Girls Ages 7-11

Kanakuk Klassic
A Place All Ages Can Call Their Summer Home
Steeped in tradition, Kanakuk Klassic beckons kids to experience the fun and exciting adventure of
Christian athletics “the way it used to be.” You can drop off and pick-up all your kampers at the same
Kamp where sisters and brothers ages 7-18 come together for 7 or 13 day terms. You’ll find our newest
Missouri kamp to be one big happy family. Directors Cooper and Missy White have a heart for training
kids young and old to grow like Christ did “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”
Luke 2:52. The staff they hand pick from top colleges all over America catch this vision and become
role models that our kids will talk about all year long.
With separate Junior and Senior camps running at the same time, kids can be kids in age appropriate
adventures. From crafts to kayaks, ropes courses to rappelling, football to frisbee, kids get a full
dose of heart pumping action in more than 25 sports activities. Kampers compete in tribes for bragging
rights and for the joy of working as a team.
We’ve set this kid paradise on a beautiful 71 acre peninsula on Table Rock Lake. Girls enjoy splendid
sunrises from their cabin porches and boys marvel at each sunset from theirs. Between dawn and dusk, the
lake valley is full of laughter…the tradition lives on!
