Skills and Activities
Adventure Program
Challenge is the key word. Activities include sessions on the Caney Ropes Course and rock climbing on towers and natural rock. Some activities, including horseback riding and whitewater rafting, are limited to older campers.
Team and Individual Sports
The
sports program at Camp Kanuga emphasizes participation by all campers and
staff. Qualified instructors help campers develop skills, good sportsmanship,
and learn to play for the enjoyment of the game. The activities include
archery, basketball, Frisbee, soccer, softball, touch football and volleyball.
Outdoor Education
Through campouts and activity periods, campers will experience the natural
world as it was created by God. They will explore Appalachian plant and
animal life, discuss man's impact on the environment, and learn to live
comfortably in the outdoors. Campers are encouraged to develop a personal
environmental ethic and learn how to hike and camp without damaging the
environment. There are three overnight campouts for the two-week sessions;
two overnights for 10-day sessions. Except for Ridge
Runners, all campouts are on Kanuga's 1,400-acre campus at an elevation
of 2,300 feet.

Arts and Crafts
The woodsy beauty of Kanuga inspires artistic expression by campers. Using this natural setting and materials, instructors guide campers to bring out their individual abilities and interests, such as weaving, tie dying, drawing and candle making.
Archery
With safety being the strongest emphasis, the archery program challenges
campers to gain the technique, precision, patience and concentration of
a successful archer. Archery instructors are certified by the National Archery
Association.
Music
No musical talent necessary! Camp Kanuga's music program focuses on singing, a common language for campers everywhere, and drumming. We'll learn new songs as well as old favorites. You do not have to be able to sing well to enjoy. Percussion instruments will be provided.
Performing Arts
Campers enjoy developing and expressing their talents. The performing arts instructor uses a variety of activities to involve campers in the theatre arts. A talent show is presented as a highlight of each camp session.
Kanuga Community
Through community building activities, guided discussion and reflection, campers will have the opportunity to explore God, friendship and outreach.
Aquatics
Water skills, especially safety, are important and fun. At Camp Kanuga's mountain-crisp Lake McCready, campers can participate in canoeing, kayaking, fishing and swimming under the supervision of certified lifeguards.
