Specialties

At K-West, our Kampers get to make their own schedules. We love letting our Kampers experience the sports and activities they want to as they get older and more specialized in their endeavors. Within that, Kampers get to choose from a range of electives including blobbing, aqua skipping, trampoline, archery, kayak, sail and so much more. They also get to choose their specialty which they attend between 1 and 3 times a day. These include the more mainstream sports. Boys can choose from baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, football, triathlete and adventure while girls get dance, cheer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, soccer, triathlete and all-around. It's fun to come alongside your Kampers in their athletic endeavors, and we have a ton of fun in the process!

Baseball...



Volleyball...



Cheer...



Soccer...



We look forward to several more days of coaching your kids in their sports!

The night ended with Luke, our ropes guy, sharing about being a doer of the word and finding our role in life.

As always, thanks for letting us hang out with your kiddos...it's seriously a blessing to us daily.

Kharacter Kamp

Sunday afternoon was filled with the opportunity to teach our Kampers about three specific character qualities. Kanakuk has decided to invest in teaching a different quality to Kampers at every age. Our 12 year olds focus on teamwork, 13 year olds on selflessness and 14 year olds on faithfulness. We've created three unique activities for each age group of kids in hopes they would learn through doing rather than just listening. Here's a brief glimpse into each.

Teamwork...












Selflessness...









Faithfulness...

Ask your Kampers for more details of what they did and learned. Our hope is that if a Kamper comes through K-West for three years then they'd become selfless, faithful team players...of course, only by the grace of God!

Today is the day...

Every morning our Kamp lines up at flag. The girls sing kamp songs and the boys think they're crazy! We watch a skit highlighting the theme of the day, raise the flag, do the pledge of allegiance and cheer for our schools. Then the girls and boys separate to make 'today is the day' cheers. Here's what it's like on a typical K-West morning...

The boys waiting on the girls...

The cheers always rhyme...The girls!

Flag is a staple part of our day at K-West. Hope you got a small glimpse into it!
