What Our Families Are Saying About Kanakuk
“What we really love about sending the kids to Kamp is that they’re part of a cabin and they serve each other, and they’re finding their own faith in that journey as well, which we really love.”
“For me, Kamp has meant several things. First and foremost, it’s a place where I, we, our whole family can go to be invested in, whether that’s the investment in relationships, getting to know like-minded adults, young adults, college students, whether that is people pouring into us the gospel, the love of Jesus, their understanding about living a godly life through marriage, through family.“
“And when I had kids and got married, I told Josh we may not be able to afford cable, but we’re gonna send our kids to this camp… and there were years when it was lean, and we had to depend on scholarships… but we did it. We sent all four of our kids to camp… they all have had some type of spiritual renewal at camp… It has just been super impactful for all of our children, and I wouldn’t regret it”
