What others are saying about Camp Sankanac
Our girls had the week of their life!! They’ve never been away from is for more then a night, so we were nervous. But, they absolutely loved it. They made friends and made so so many special memories. They learned about God through his Word and through songs they still sing together.
It was an amazing weekend! The speakers were great, the rooms were so comfy and beds so restful, great food, perfect weather, nice campfire on Friday night……the stars were so bright, (many of the ladies commented on that) and no mosquitoes or bugs to ruin our praise and testimonies around the fire. Everyone wants to come again! and bring more ladies next time! The Lord worked in many hearts we were challenged, encouraged and convicted to be rooted in Christ. We can’t thank you and the staff enough!
“I think Camp Sankanac is an amazing place to see God at work! You can see prayers answered and a life changed in just a few days…and not just for the campers, God is also at work in the staff. I’ve learned so much serving at Camp Sankanac, I’ve met great friends, had tons of fun and have seen God do some awesome things!”
My son loved the boys camp at Sankanac! I definitely noticed a positive change after my son returned home from camp. He seemed so refreshed and relaxed. He came home with a heart of caring toward others. He was more patient and understanding of his younger siblings. Each staff person impacted my son in a positive way.
