I like Kanakuk because of the way God has chosen to move there. It's like my second home, with all of the uplifting spirit, vulnerability, and the people all around me fighting the same fight that I am and running towards the same prize. The way that we all come together to grow and learn has brought me so close to people and I will forever value the friendships that I've made because of it. It's a truly beautiful thing when people acknowledge who God has called them to be, know that they are forgiven by their Father, and learn how truly loved they are. It just builds a concrete foundation that helps restore confidence and sends them home with true hope and purpose. I can't wait to see what else He'll do!

I like Kanakuk because of what it represents- kids uniting and having fun through Christ. The best staff, the best friends you'll ever meet, and the best God who shows UP AND OUT while you're there. Indescribable.

I like Kanakuk because I feel more welcomed at Kamp then anywhere else. Before Kanakuk, I felt like nobody knew me, but after Kanakuk, I had wonderful counselors and understanding cabin friends. 2019 was my ever first time, but the sad thing is now i'm 14 and have four summers left at Kanakuk. But after finishing Kamp, I hope to become a counselor and help others know our Christ better. Also, Kamp K-West is the best. Ward Wiebe and Kevin Harrison are the best directors ever. They helped me to know Christ better and conquer my fear of heights. Also, they made 2019 my favorite summer of my whole life. When I have children, I would defiantly send them to Kanakuk.

I like Kanakuk because you get time away from the world around you and you get to live in a new space of the lord love. You also get to experience new and exciting things. And you get to have friends all over the nation.

I like Kanakuk because it allows me to be who I am. Back home I used always try to fit in with the crowd, but I realized that we shouldn’t follow the ways of the world, but the ways of the Lord. I would not have been able to grow closer with the Lord without this AMAZING kamp and the opportunity that you all give to each and every kamper. Kanakuk has shaped me even more and more every year I’ve gone and I cannot wait for next year to be my 6TH YEAR!! Without this kamp and the Lords love, I would not be the person I am today. I’ve made the most amazing life long friends here and I’ve had the best counselors who taught me to do my devo daily and start memorizing scripture. Kanakuk is truly a blessing and has made me realize that it’s not about fitting in with the popular girls, it’s ahout finding the people in your life who love you for you and will support you through your journey with God!

#ilikekanakuk because it is such a relief to be able to come to a place where worshipping God is welcomed. Where you truly can have a community of Jesus-lovers who’ll be in your life forever. At home, I don’t have a super great community of believers, and coming to kanakuk really gives me the strength to go home and pray for that and to go home and help God change that.

#ilikeKanakuk because of the apparent love of Jesus Christ inside the gates. It is a place that teaches you how to run after Jesus without fear, knowing that the best is yet to come. God moves mountains and changes hearts in this place. I owe all of myself to Kanakuk Kamps.
