Summer Camps

Since 1941, Camp Sankanac has been offering a premier summer youth camp experience like none other. What started off as just a few weeks of Boys’ Camp & Girls’ Camp has developed into so much more! While we still offer our popular and unique all boys and all girls camp, we now run day camps, horse camps, basketball camps, and more! We offer all of the usual fun camp activities you’d expect from a traditional summer camp experience like campfires, sleeping under the stars, crazy games, crafts, waterfront activities, swimming, night games, and fun competitions…but we also offer so much more! Camp Sankanac is open to boys and girls, ages 7-16, regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin.

Summer Camp 2024 Spiritual Theme

Sometimes life is difficult to navigate! Our prayer for this summer is that the campers who come will be impacted spiritually by God’s Word and return home with a clear understanding of the One who is trustworthy. We pray that they will hear the Gospel, that lives will be transformed and that our campers will be able to claim with the Psalmist; “God, you are my rock & my fortress!”
Today, a few of Satan’s tactics are to divide & conquer, to cloud the truth & plant doubt in our minds. We need Christ! We need him on a daily basis. He is the only firm foundation & the only Solid Rock to cling to. Only through the wisdom and direction of Jesus Christ can we be guided through life’s challenges. There is true & meaningful hope that will never fade & it’s found in Christ! Let’s dive into God’s Word together as we study the life and ministry of Peter & see the great blessing it is to put your hope in Christ & live for Him.

“Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.” Psalm 31:3

Boys' Camp & Girls' Camp

Attention all boys and girls ages 7-16!! These all boy and all girl camps have been running since 1941 and offer a unique camp experience! Come join us for a great week of activities, outdoor adventures, and learning more about God. Camp Sankanac runs four weeks of boys’ camp (June-July) and four weeks of girls’ camp (July-August). From creek stomping to hilarious skits, to cooking over a fire, to paintball and arrow tag, to tubing, to braving our mountain-sized water slide you don’t want to miss the outdoor adventures that await during our four weeks of boys’ or girls’ camp.

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.

CIT Program

If you are 16 years of age (or have completed 10^th grade) and are considering a future in leadership or summer camp counseling, we highly recommend this program! The CIT program is 3 weeks of hands-on leadership training, giving you beneficial experiences and helpful preparation for the future leader. There are 2 weeks of training that focuses on spiritual growth, building counseling skills and leadership training as you prepare for the last week, which consists of staying in a cabin and assisting counselors with younger campers and program-related tasks. This program really gives you a taste of what summer camp counseling (and ministry in general) is all about. Whether you are looking at a future in summer camp ministry or any kind of leadership, this program is the perfect way to prepare and looks great on your future college application or resume! A certificate of completion will be provided for campers who complete this program. In between each week, CIT’s will go home from Saturday to Sunday.
