Salute Scholarship

Since 2015, it has been our profound honor to support our troops through the Kanakuk Salute Scholarship Program. This program is dedicated to Kampers between the ages of 6 and 18 whose parent was 100% disabled or fallen in battle. It is Kanakuk’s heartfelt way of saying “Thank You” and expressing our deepest gratitude to your family for your service to our country and acknowledging the immense sacrifices you have made. If you know of other families or friends who might qualify for this program, please feel free to share this information with them and encourage them to contact us if they have any questions.
