Dear Kanakuk,
Our children are at K-7 right now (max and libby) and we are just so grateful to Kanakuk for providing THE BEST summers of their lives. Our 6 year old Maddy is counting down until she gets to go next year. Thanks so much for your commitment to Christ and kids. Thanks too for all the updates on the flu issue. We never had any doubt that Kamp would be the safest place to be for our kids due to all of you. We sure appreciate all of you.
Thanks so much,
Ryan and Rochelle

Dear Ryan and Rochelle,
When our Kamp families take the time to write us an encouraging email, our hearts melt! As a fellow Kamp parent I would like to take a few minutes to share a story with you about my daughter Hannah. She’s 8 and has now attended Kamp for two summers. Her two older brothers have attended for many years. When Hannah was 4 years old getting ready to turn 5, people would ask her how old she was going to be and she would answer “7”. One day I was able to convince her that “No sweetie, you are going to be 5.” She finally agreed and said “OK, but next year I’ll be 7!” All because 7 is that magic age when our kids get to go to Kamp! What a special opportunity that we can send our kids to be with people like Keith Chancey and these incredible college staffers. We give God all the praise! Thanks for pulling along side us. We want to do the same for your family. Have a great rest of the summer and school year!

Jay,
Thanks for writing us back. Great story and feel free to share our comment. Kanakuk is the greatest place on Earth--I just wish I was still a Kamper!! Of course, they had another great time as we picked up yesterday.
God bless you all,
Rochelle and Ryan

When my son was born in 1993, my sister Kath said, "I can't wait till he is 7 and can go to Kanakuk." As the years past, it soon became time for Kamp. My dad and another sister drove Alex to Kamp. As my sister was hiding behind a pole so Alex could not see the tears in her eyes, Alex proclaimed, "This is the moment I have waited for my whole life!" He's now a 9 year Kamper and looks forward to his week at K-7 more than any other week of the year. Kamp is the best way to spend the summer and gives kids amazing experiences along with a Christ-centered week.
Hey there Rochelle,
I am working at kanakuk right now and I saw this post. How are you doing? I talk to Lucinda sometimes through facebook. Are you on it? Both my kids are campers and this is my 2nd yr. working it. They go to K-kountry and K-1. I am at K-1 girls right now. Keep in touch.
