A Sleepaway Camp with a Rich Legacy
Your Child’s Safety and Growth are our Top Priorities at Kanakuk
WELCOME TO KANAKUK!
For more than 100 Summers Kanakuk’s Sleepaway Camps have offered kids from all over the country a fun-filled summer camp that specializes in developing both Biblical knowledge and athletics, empowering kids to greater courage, confidence, and character. Kanakuk Kamps range from 1-week sessions to 4-week programs, offering flexibility to meet the needs of families. We believe that enrolling your kid in Kamp means more than sending them off for the summer—it’s an investment in their future. By developing Christ-like character, learning the value of team, and taking opportunities to try new things, kids make unforgettable memories and build lifelong friendships at Kanakuk. There’s truly no other summer camp experience like it.
Benefits of Sleepaway Camp
WHEN kids attend sleepaway camp, they learn independence, decision-making, and problem-solving skills that serve them for a lifetime. At Kanakuk, kids are immersed in a safe environment where they can grow deeper in their faith, form life-long friendships, and grow in character and confidence.
Healthy Relationships
Healthy relationships are one important outcome of a summer camp experience. At Kanakuk, we teach Kampers the value of living an ‘I’m Third’ lifestyle. ‘I’m Third’ means putting God first, others second, and ourselves third. Our staff receive intentional training on how to foster healthy relationships which include regular evaluation of cabin dynamics and Kamper health.
Green Time > Screen Time
When kids are able to unplug from technology and experience outdoor adventures, they are able to rediscover the magic of face-to-face friendships and become aware of God’s grand creation. One of the best gifts you can give your child is the opportunity to leave the day-to-day behind and focus on being present with those you are with.
Sleepaway Camp builds Character
Sleepaway camps foster character development by encouraging independence, teamwork, and resilience through challenging activities in a supportive environment. At Kanakuk, kids are given the incredible opportunity to meet other peers and build new relationships in a safe and welcoming environment.
