Kanakuk's K-West hosts junior high kids for fourteen nights. Understanding that the middle school years can be a rough ride, K-West offers the opportunity for deep friendships, exciting sports and Christian camping.
In this short video you can see where Kanakuk campers will stay, play and learn while at Kamp. Looking for more? Check out daily photos from previous summers here. You are also invited to visit us the next time you are in the Branson, Missouri area! For more information contact us.
How do we send medications for our Kampers?

Is a trunk a requirement? Where do I buy one?
Trunks are not a requirement, but they make transporting and keeping luggage clean, organized, and convenient. Duffle bags and suit cases are welcome. Luggage may not be more than 15.5" tall. A good source for trunks is www.trunkoutletkanakuk.com.

Can I walk my child to their cabin and help make their bed?
We welcome parents to share in their child's arrival during the drop off times during opening day of each term.

We request that the time be minimal so the counselors and other Kampers can begin getting acquainted.

If my oldest child is in one tribe, will that affect what tribe my younger child will be in?
The tribe that your older child is in will only dictate what tribe your younger child will be in if they are the same gender. Girl and boy tribes are not linked together in any way.
What are tribes?
Tribes are groups that our Kampers are put in during their time at Kanakuk. They are used for devotionals and competition. Once assigned a tribe, your Kamper will remain in that tribe every year they are a Kamper. There are four total tribes, two for girls and two for boys. The girl tribes are Kiowa and Kickapoo. The boy tribes are Cherokee and Choctaw.
Is sporting equipment provided, or do we send our child's personal equipment?
All sporting equipment will be provided for your Kamper. There is no need to send sports equipment. Personal gear can be used, but there is limited storage space and Kanakuk Ministries cannot be held liable for loss or damage to personal sports equipment.
Do boys and girls interact with each other?
There are a few limited co-ed events. These include things like K-Life praise and worship and parties. However, they do not participate in sports together.
What is ok to send to my Kamper in a care package?
Our Kampers love getting fun care packages from home! Things that are OK are items such as card games, coloring books, bracelets, stationary and envelopes. Things that are NOT ok are water ballons, candy, gum, food, drinks and anything perishable.
How many Kampers are in a cabin?
We assign 10-12 Kampers to each cabin by birthdate, and 2-3 counselors are in each cabin.
Do we need to send twin sheets sets with our Kampers?
Yes, please send a twin sheet set with your Kamper.
