Jim Rippey's story has no rags to riches flare, no fall from grace, down in the gutter, saved by Jesus drama. Yet what happened to Jim is no less miraculous. He was a World Champion with countless other titles and that's when Jesus reached out and changed his life: literally at the top of a mountain.
Kanakuk Kamps introduces another option in their Adventure Series of camps for older teens: Survival Kamp. Graham Dodd describes how Survival Kamp not only challenged him physically, but also how he was provided with the faith to see it through.

After crossing a gentle trickling brook, we begin the hostile ascent to the summit. Any semblance of pathway is replaced by ten foot serrated boulders to scramble over.

Join JSAW on a new adventure! Help Board Shop and Skate Park will be home for expanding youth development programs in the Minneapolis area. The facility will provide offices for staff, a safe, positive and consistent place for students, and a retail shop that will produce revenue to sustain the ministry long term.
Summer camp is more than bunk beds, camp fires and shaving cream fights. It's self-confidence and facing fears. At Kanakuk, it’s building faith and overcoming obstacles through adventure. We create epic experiences that increase confidence and create encouragement opportunities as campers face new challenges.
