K-1 Kampers will participate

Take me to Tokyo
Week 9 (formerly Term 4)
That’s right – the Olympics are coming! A day full of competition complete with a smorgasbord of great food from all over the world! Track spikes, swimsuits, and goggles make the required packing list as athletes (and spectators) unite to create a day for the ages! Pride is on the line as athletes attempt to raise their country’s flag! Can you land the perfect 10?
Camouflage Entourage
Week 9 (formerly Term 4)
Reporting for duty, Kanakuk style. Put on that camouflage and grab your crew because Kamp is going all out for this bootcamp boogie with a mystery in the making. Platoons of cabins, teams of seals, and a mission too big to miss. Kamp wants YOU! Enlist now and take the risk.
Medieval Mayhem
Week 10 (formerly Term 5)
The Knight awaits as jesters and jousters, peasants and pirates invade the gates. Royalty is the name of the game, but everyone has a part to play in this middle-century, shining-armor showdown! The drawbridge is closing, so hurry on in!
Under Construction
Week 10 (formerly Term 5)
Strap on your hardhats and throw on that obnoxious reflecting vest that you secretly love and make your way to the construction site! It’s demolition derby, a skyscraper scramble, and a Pinterest paradise. Architects, bulldozers, and shiplap come together in epic fashion. It’s hammertime!

Denim & Diamonds
Week 9 (formerly Term 4)
It’s a boots and bowties kinda night! Hip-hop turned country and redneck gone formal, this one is a clash of cultures as ballrooms and haybales set the stage for a mud-on-the-tires, chain-hang-low, hillbilly-uptown hoedown!

Summer Jam
Week 10 (formerly Term 5)
A music festival for the ages stretching from Branson to Lampe, every inch of the 26 miles will be filled with the most diverse and talent filled lineup ever assembled!

WHY WE DO PARTIES
Theme parties are a foundational piece of what we do here at Kanakuk every summer! Our exciting and over-the-top parties are a Kamp favorite and provide the opportunity for Kampers to grow in confidence, make new friends, and have a ton of fun! All of these elements combine to carry out Joe White and Kanakuk's mission of equipping next generation leaders.
Which Parties will my Kamper participate in?
To see which parties your Kamper should be prepared for, start by selecting their Kamp at the top of the page. Each Kamp offers different parties to their Kampers, and sometimes change based on term, so be sure to plan for the parties that will be offered during your Kamper’s term.
How elaborate do costumes need to be?
When it comes to preparing your Kamper’s costumes, the sky is the limit! We strive to offer costume ideas for every level of ability—so whether your Kamper wants to bring a simple costume or dress to the nines, we’re pretty sure they’re going to have a blast no matter what!
Are Kampers supervised during parties?
Like all activities that are offered at Kanakuk, your Kamper will remain under the care of our professional staff during all parties at Kanakuk. Parties give our staff the unique opportunity to join in the fun and bring their best costumes and excitement to every party we offer!
What if my Kamper doesn’t want to bring a costume?
Kampers aren’t required to bring a costume for any of the parties we offer, but as a Kamper favorite for decades, we think they should! Parties have the ability of creating memories for Kampers in a safe and clean environment, free from the things our world tells us we need.
Who should I contact if I have more questions?
If you have additional questions about this year's parties or need any assistance with your Kamper’s registration, email reg@kanakuk.com and one of our wonderful registrars will assist you!
