Annual Report

Prayers of the people

No matter where you come from...there’s something

about being here that makes it a level ground. Everybody is willing to leave the distractions behind, be authentic with themselves, be authentic with each other. I think it has to do with the ground that we are on, the energy that’s created here.

Everybody is able to release what holds them back and find that connection to themselves, to God, to nature, and then take it back with them ... be a better person.

—Katie Hediger, Kanuga Empowered Youth (KEY) leader

Sunday the moon was almost at full... it was this big,

full moon coming into to the dark grounds. I walked down to the lake pavilion and there was the moon just sitting on the lake reflecting off. I’m incredibly thankful to be in a spot where it’s just nature, and us. The moon grounds me and reminds me that I live on a planet and I’m pulled down to earth. It’s a grounding part of my spirituality.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW In 2022, your philanthropic support created opportunities for Kanuga to expand access to camp, begin to re-imagine the ways we “conference” together, launch customized spiritual retreats, introduce Music in the Pines performance series, and continue to improve the radical hospitality with which we welcome families and friends to Kanuga.

2022 REVENUES, GAINS, AND OTHER SUPPORT

We’re tremendously excited about everything to come in 2023, and look forward to welcoming you back to this thin place. Thank you for being a part of this exciting time in the life of Kanuga. See you soon!

My father was a camper here in 1928 when

Rufus Morgan was the camp director. I worked on waterfront staff when I was 16. We have brought our families since the 1980s when dad was the chaplain for guest period. The sense of community is something I hope will never change at Kanuga.

—Bob Gribbon, longtime guest

Kanuga is so special to so many of us. It’s our community. It’s our sacred place. But more importantly, it’s our responsibility for those generations to come.
