Kanakuk Kamps are non-denominational Christian camps. They have been providing exciting summer adventures with kids since 1926.

Kanakuk is collaborating with Little Rock Christian Academy to offer Kampers one of the greatest weeks on earth… right here on our LRCA campus!

Kampers will be able to enjoy traditional Kanakuk activities such as water slides, climbing walls, zip lines, crafts, octaball, dodge ball, ultimate foursquare, field games, relays, archery and team sports. Every day’s events ring with the message that each life has a purpose.

The daily schedule will include skits and devotionals and then a K-Life worship time wraps up the day! Kampers learn

SUMMER PROGRAMS 2018

from counselors that it is fun to be a Christian. Each counselor knows that every moment the Kampers are watching, they are taking home a picture of what it means to follow Christ.

Speaking of counselors, Kamp Out will be staffed with Kanakuk’s kid-loving, Christian staff. The staff has previous Kanakuk experience and have been handpicked from over 300 colleges.

They are carefully interviewed, chosen for excellence, and trained to provide excellent mentoring to your child. A Kanakuk Director couple will also be onsite. Do not miss this unique opportunity!
