Kanakuk Kamp: Christian Summer Camp in the Heart of the Ozarks

Give Your Child the Best Experience of a Lifetime

Patti Stafford
In 1926 a group of boys from Texas went on a character building and stamina trek to the Ozark Mountains in southern Missouri. The trip lasted 8 weeks and the boys were accompanied by great Christian role models. Although their trip only lasted eight weeks, their journey, their dream and their vision continues today at Kanakuk Kamp in Branson, Missouri. It was their vision and their experience that led to the creation of such a life changing Christian summer camp. Since its inception in 1926, five generations of families have attended summer church camp at Kanakuk in Branson, Missouri.

Give your child an exciting adventure packed experience at summer camp this year through Kanakuk Kamp ministries.

Kanakuk Kamp is non-denominational, full of energy and fun activities. Each year the staff members at Kanakuk Kamp go beyond the call of duty to give your child the most memorable and life-changing experience he/she will have.

Many campers have returned to Kanakuk Kamp for 10 plus years. Kanakuk must be doing something right to have so many kids return year after year. It is the experience of a life time that will give your child the guidance, direction, character and self-esteem building activities he/she needs to carry on into adult life.

    When I attended Kanakuk at 13 years old, a counselor hit me in the chest, cracking my sternum. He intimidated me so that I wouldn't tell. I never told the administration or my family.
