K-1 Kampers will participate
in the following theme parties.
Kanakuk Science Fair
(Terms 1, 2, 4)
Grab your beakers and crank up the speakers – the Kanakuk Science Fair is exploding with new innovations, inventions, and maybe a little microscopic mayhem! We’re all good with goggles, just don’t forget the groove! The scientific method is in full swing with a little Kamp twist as we hypothesize just one thing – how hype is too hype?
B.C. Bash
(Term 1,2,4)
You heard it here first! The only thing higher than the stakes in this one might be the walls of Jericho. This rockin’ Red-Sea rollercoaster is all the rave as we take a step back in time to Bible days of old. Toss on your tunic and strap up your sandals – Goliath awaits!.
Kanakuk & Beyond
(Term 3,5)
Round up the toys and take a trip to Pizza Planet & master the claw! We are “eternally grateful” for the friend we have in you Kuks and Komos. So grab your slinky dog or your space ranger & let’s head to infinity & beyond! But watch out—here might be a snake in your boot!
Westward Explosion
(Term 3, 5)
Saddle up your horses, weigh down the wagons, and pack your party clothes – we’re going west for the journey of a lifetime! Cutoff jeans and beat-up boots are absolutes as we two-step our way across the party-packed prairie. This one’s sure to be a dynamite of a time – just don’t set it off too soon!
K-2 Kampers will participate
in the following theme parties.
iKons
(Term 1,2,4)
It’s a star-studded showdown as legends and heroes of past and present steal the spotlight! Presidents and popstars, actors and astronauts, hoopers and hairstylists, shiplappers and showstoppers – it’s a one-for-all and all-for-one event that you can’t find anywhere else that’ll leave you saying, “iKon’t believe it!”
Space Cowboys
(Term 1, 2, 4)
It’s an alien invasion in the Wild West as galactic action has made normalcy a thing of yesteryear! Boots meet spacesuits and rockets enter the rodeo in this comet-crashing clambake. The galaxy is closer than it’s ever been, but the answer may be lightyears away…
Make It Or Break It
(Term 1, 2, 4)
Minute to win it? How about a night to win it! An epic record-breaking blowout is on the brink of turning K-Land into a new world record book! Bring your most obscure skill or your most obvious talent to the table and turn it up because this party just might be a world record itself!
Wobble Wobble Gobble Gobble
(Term 3, 5)
It’s a turkey trottin’, football watchin’, kettle corn poppin’ kinda day on Kanakuk hill! Don your flannel, pack your pumpkin suit, or toss on that tacky turkey day sweater in this corn-maze-of-a-daze Plymouth Rock party. All you need is an attitude of gratitude, pumpkin spice everything, and grandma’s apple pie recipe for this Thanksgiving Throwdown!

It's a Jungle Out There
(Term 3, 5)
Oops! Somebody left the door open! Dolphins and ducks, tigers and bucks are found roaming and running in this zig-zagging zootopian jungle jam. It’s a feelin’-so-fine feline feature with a side of the savannah. This is animal anarchy at its finest!

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, contact us here and one of our wonderful registrars will assist you!
