All who work in or share an interest in Christian formation/education will find this week rewarding and fun:

• Veterans hungry for skill-sharpening and idea-swapping
• Newcomers needing training and encouragement
• Clergy excited about programs reaching every generation
• Parents who want guidance in nurturing their family’s faith

As with all Kanuga summer conferences, you can make this week your mountain vacation. While parents attend sessions, young people participate in their own programs directed by our carefully selected staff in a safe and fun Christian environment. Spouses can fish, hike, play tennis or nearby golf, relax on the porch or by the lake. The whole family can spend time together in the afternoons and evenings.
