Overnight Boys’ Camp & Girls’ Camp

Boys’ Camp & Girls’ Camp

Boys’ Camp & Girls’ Camp

Get ready to have the best week of your life! Crazy activities, challenges from God’s Word and fun with friends combine to ensure that you’ll have a week you won’t forget! Overnight camp is open for kids ages 7-16 and is divided into three villages. Creekside (7-10), Pinesite (11-13) and Cliffside (14-16) do some activities together during the day and eat meals at the same time. However, cabins are assigned by village and some activities and Bible lessons are done by a village so as to provide age-appropriate instruction. Camp Sankanac runs four weeks of Boys’ Camp (June- July) and then four weeks of Girls’ Camp (July-August).

Each week of camp is tied to a different theme. The purpose of our weekly theme is to add a fun twist to the regular camp daily schedule. The themes play out primarily in our evening activity and in mealtime skits during the week. The rest of our camp day is largely the same every week. In the morning, campers have Bible and elective classes. In the afternoon, campers have rest time, free time, and activity time with their own cabin. After the evening meal, campers participate in a large group game or activity that is tied to the weekly theme and then they end the day with a chapel service. Boy’s camp evening activities tend to be competitive and athletic in nature.

Campers will immerse themselves in frontier life, mastering skills such as archery, navigating by stars, and participating in exciting western-themed activities (Ages 11-16 using Paintball–Ages 7-10 using laser tag). Whether trying their hand at the bullseye or swapping stories around the campfire, you will experience a week to remember!

Do you have what it takes to compete against the best? Campers and Cabins will compete in the Ninja Course to see who Sankanac’s ultimate Ninja Warrior is. Be prepared, it will take more than just agility and strength to win. You will need strategy and wits as well to compete both individually and as cabin. So come test your skills on the Sankanac Ninja Course!

A 65-year tradition continues!! Get ready for individual and team competition in the pool, in the creek, and on land! Events such as races (in the pool, creek and on land), team sports like softball, basketball, soccer (and more), and non-sport events like fire building and pie-eating are just a sampling of the challenges of the day. Competitive. TONS of fun! Army Navy day will end up being one of the best days of your year!

 Embark on an unforgettable summer escapade at “Fellowship of the Camp,” a one-of-a-kind experience that blends the thrill of adventure with the warmth of camaraderie, inspired by tales of heroism and mythical journeys. From navigating mysterious paths to conquering daring challenges, campers will cultivate lasting friendships while discovering the magic of collective achievement.

Girls’ Camp Weeks & Themes:

Everything was fine and dandy until the pirate showed up!! Where did he come from? And where should he go? And what in the world are we going to do with him until he leaves?! He doesn’t have the best manners, he’s lacking his land legs, and he only seems to know one letter of the alphabet! And to top it all off, his pet parrot won’t stop asking for crackers! We’ve got to get him home where he belongs–it’s what’s best for all of us, right?

When the sun goes down and the moon shows up, mysterious events take place! But don’t you worry, we’re bringing in the world’s most famous and determined detective and his just as famous friend and doctor to help us solve these curious conundrums. Be prepared to help this set of sleuths solve problems by day AND by night!

Another summer brings with it another tradition–our annual Traber/Scott week! Named after the two women who were instrumental in starting Camp Sankanac, Bessy Traber and Dorothy Scott, this week is one filled with lots of friendly competitions of every variety. Our evening activities will be made up of group games, team sports, silly challenges, and so much more! At the end of the week, we’ll split everyone into two teams and spend the whole day competing for this year’s pennant! This is a “DON’T MISS” week of camp!!

Wild woodland critters have always shared our campground with us; from bullfrogs to blue herons and ducklings to deer. But deep within the forest, beyond the ferns and the fungi, you’ll find more than fireflies and foxes… A whole new world of enchantment and adventure awaits. Let’s trade in those geese and groundhogs and visit the world of fluttering fairies, neighborly gnomes, and talking animal friends…? Bring your imagination and hiking boots and let’s go into the woods!

Summer Registration Open!
