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 (11-12) and Cliffside (13-16) 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.

Overnight Boys’ Camp Weeks & Themes:

You have a mission! Sankanac’s favorite night game is back, but rumor has it that you may encounter an all-night challenge. Your cabin is going to have to work together to avoid getting caught and you may have to work together to make it through the night! We dare you to try to get your flag and get back to the bell tower without getting caught! Will the challenge end there?! You’ll have to show up to find out! It’s going to be an action-packed week! (Modified “all-nighter” event for Creeksiders, ages 7-10)
The World Cup is over, but the Sankanac Kup champion is yet to be named! This is the real international competition! Get ready for some kicking, shooting, hopping, overachieving, and total domination of the opponents. As you might be able to tell, this week will include some traditional and some not-sotraditional games and competitions, all while accumulating points per cabin. Who will win the Kup?!

Two teams, one victor! After one full day of individual and team competitions, we’ll know who holds the 2023 title. Pie eating, sports, fishing, no splash diving, biggest splash “diving,” boat racing, fire building, track, greased watermelon polo, archery, riflery, paintball (just to name a few)…there is something for everyone! Come battle it out on the field, pool, creek, course, track…you get the idea! There is no day like Army/Navy Day!

The setting: Middle Ages. The conflict: Opposing castles (cabins) are eager to take over your land and you need to defend your kingdom. The scene: your fortress has been built and you are armed to attack and defend. Your kingdom will rise or fall in one final and epic battle. A storm is brewing! **Try your hand at hatchet throwing as a free time elective this week!

Girls’ Camp Weeks & Themes:

Just like the the big screen, there’s so much that could happen this week! If you’re the kind of person who likes to bring imagination to life, then this is your time to shine! Bring your love for song-singing, story-telling, music-writing, stunt-doubling, movie-making, toe-tapping, set-building, and FUN-HAVING to this showstopping week! Would you rather watch a performance than be in it? No problem! The entertainment business reaches everyone! So reserve your ticket, grab your popcorn, and get ready to enjoy the show!

Something very near and dear to the heart of Camp has disappeared and Sankanac hasn’t been the same place since! In order to restore camp to the place we all know and love, we must recover this item as soon as possible and bring it safely back home! But this is no easy task! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, WILL take you all around the world!!! Are you ready for the quest of a lifetime? If so, pack your bags and come prepared for anything and everything as you follow clues that lead us from one continent to the next!
It’s that time of year again! Grab your sneakers and swimsuit and gear up for a week filled with all of your favorite traditional camp fun, plus a full day of team competitions! This week–and our Traber v Scott Day–has something for everyone! From canoeing and crafting to racing and memorizing. From swimming and playing to team-building and cabin-bonding. From Trading Post ice cream to Traber/Scott pie-eating!!! Whether you’re brand new to camp or if you come as often as you can, this week will have you singing “We love Sankanac!”

… in a camp not so far away, there were three villages. The first village was nestled all snuggly along the gentle creek. The last village sat proudly on the edge of a cliff. And the middle village was juuuust right next to the pine trees in the center of the camp. The first village was looking forward to a week full of fairytales and happily ever afters. The last village was hoping for daring adventures with drama and mystery! And the middle village was juuuust right in between the others, wanting a little of everything. Will the villages venture into the woods or swim under the sea or solve an ancient mystery? You’ll have to read the book–I mean–come to camp to see what happens! But I know the ending will be juuuust right!

Summer Registration opens Feb. 14th!
