Located in the Ozarks and founded 100 years ago, Kanakuk operates as a fun-filled summer camp that specializes in developing Biblical knowledge and athletics, empowering kids to greater courage, confidence, and character. With over 70 activities on-site, we empower Kampers through providing opportunities based on their interests. We believe in the power of mentorship and developing courage through fun-filled activities, giving Kampers a truly transformative summer camp experience.

At Kanakuk, we instill the “I’m Third” mentality: God first, others second, and ourselves third. Kampers learn the value of servant leadership at Kanakuk, following Christ’s example of humility, truth, and love. Each overnight camp offers a fun-filled balance of both faith- and athletic-development, with sports and adventures led by college athletes. Our coaches have both athletic ability and Christlike character to ensure each Kamper gets the best of sports and spiritual growth, providing a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience.
