KampOut! brings the nonstop fun and adventure of the Kanakuk experience to churches and communities across America. Each year, we partner with over 50 organizations to host KampOut!, bringing this memorable, life-changing day camp experience that Kanakuk is known for to over thousands of kids in their communities.
Link Year / Link Academy
Link Year is an 8-month discipleship program for high school graduates. During this gap year, students will spend time in study, service and fellowship with other believers. They will also have the opportunity to spend 1 month abroad on mission with a partnership organization.
Link Academy is a new Christian high school serving elite athletes. Starting in Fall 2021, Link Academy is currently home to a top men's basketball program. In the future, we aim to expand into other sports and genders.
