Summer Camp Staff

Are you looking for a summer job that will change your life? At Kanakuk, we are passionate about revolutionizing America’s culture. Our Vision is to evangelize and equip the next generation to reach the world for Christ.

It’s more than a summer job.

It’s more than a summer camp.

It’s a life-changing summer full of memories that will last a lifetime.

Each summer, the Lord uses over 2,000 dedicated, kid-loving, Christian college students from across the country who are committed to pouring their life out and showing over 20,000 kids and families what it looks like to follow Christ in a real way.

Our staff shows kids that it’s fun to be a follower of Christ through their words, relationships, and lives.

Our Core:

• Love for the Lord: Our staff loves Jesus and is dependent on Him every day. Above all else, our staff desires to put Jesus first and live for Him in both action and deed. Our staff reflects the love of Christ, and His name is made glorious through our lives.
• Love for Kids: We are in the kid business. Our staff have a heart for reaching kids and building lasting relationships through sports camping. We desire to love, protect, serve, encourage, and challenge each kid who walks through the Kamp gates.
• Love for Sports: At Kanakuk, we believe that the area of athletics is a great platform in which we can reach kids with the message of Christ. At Kamp, we love to coach, teach, and encourage kids and families in over 70 sports and activities. You don’t have to be an athlete to work at Kamp, but you must love to be active!
• Love for Excitement: Kanakuk is a crazy place! Kamp is filled with non-stop action and adventure. Whether it’s dressing up for a wild theme party or riding down a huge zipline, our staff is fired up and going nuts every minute! The excitement never ends at Kanakuk.
• Love for Team: Our staff is a team united under one mission. Our staff is selfless, never seeking personal gain or attention. We desire to serve and encourage one another in all that we do and say. We are all in this together and want the name of Christ to be made famous above all else.
