Come prepared to help our time travelers sort everyone back into their own time period. You might have to rediscover fire, reinvent the wheel, or uninvent something you have never even heard of, but no matter what you do, make sure it is all done by sundown, or everything will be stuck out of time.
Duck Calls and Overalls
(Term 1,2,4)
It’s time to dust off your camo, freshen up your fluorescents, tighten your overall straps, and widen those front tooth gaps as we have ourselves a (huntin’) dog on good time! Invite your Aunt Ethel and Uncle Jerry, Cousin Eddie and Sister Sally, baby Sue and the hunting dog Blue… and Steve… no relation because we just had our best day of the season, and everyone is eatin’ good tonight! Help the whole family celebrate with hootin’, hollerin, and some dancin’ of course.
Tee Times at Teatime

FORE!! more cups of tea please, and maybe a pinch of sugar. Come dressed to the nines, or just fix your swing for the back nine, either way we will find out what happens when the captain of the golf team faces off against the most proper of tea snobs. Which group will get to enjoy their reserved time on these beautifully manicured greens? Pack your tees, make a few of those little triangle sandwiches, strap on your glove, and raise your pinkie, as we try to find an activity that gives both parties a night that is on PAR with the evening they originally had in mind.

You’ll sneak behind enemy lines to avoid being detected and seek to capture the flag before it’s too late…secure the island or seal your fate. Forward, MARCH!!

WHY WE DO PARTIES
Our exciting and over-the-top theme parties are a Kamp favorite and provide the opportunity for Kampers to grow in confidence, make new friends, and have a ton of fun! These foundational elements combine to carry out Kanakuk’s mission of equipping next generation leaders.
For the most convenient access to overnight summer parties information, download The Kanakuk app today at one of the links below! You can also get easy access to Family Kamp parties on your phone through the K-Kauai app. Just search "K-Kauai" in the App Store or Google Play.
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, contact us here and one of our wonderful registrars will assist you!
