thin place is where one can walk within two worlds (between heaven & earth, between the physical & spiritual, between the analog & digital, between others & ourselves) – the worlds are fused together.

Either knitted loosely where the differences can be discerned or tightly where the two worlds become one. Thin places aren’t typically perceived with the five senses. Experiencing them goes beyond those limits. —Kanuga Empowered Youth (KEY)

e attended our first Renewal Conference at Kanuga with our children and had a powerful experience as a family. The unique mix of freedom and programming for the kids made the week a magical one.

Especially in this moment in our culture, a wholesome family retreat is a much welcome respite. Our hope is that the children who gather at Colhoun will experience godly fellowship and play, and might someday bring their own families to connect with this sacred place.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Reflecting on the past year, I feel immense gratitude for the Kanuga community and all we have accomplished together. Your philanthropic support, volunteer leadership, and commitment to Kanuga’s future made it possible to: U Create a new center for young children in the Colhoun Room U Nimbly respond to necessary—and sometimes surprising—repairs on the Main Lodge roof, Lakeside Chapel, and other community spaces U Improve the Kanuga Lake Inn guest experience with added amenities like coffee makers and mini-refrigerators U Successfully relaunch our signature Lansing Lee conference U Celebrate being together with friends new and old during the Returning & Becoming conference U Offer life-changing experiences for the next generation of leaders at camp and the outdoor school

2023 REVENUES, GAINS, AND OTHER SUPPORT

Of course, we still have work to do, and together we will embrace new opportunities to continue to strengthen and find new ways of connecting with each other, nature, and the Creator.

Thanks for all you bring to Kanuga. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Gratefully,
