Camp
K on Kenai Lake New Camp...New Name! As part of our exciting camp redevelopment, we are transitioning away from the name Camp Kushtaka. As we transition to the new name, you may see references to Camp Kushtaka, Camp K and Camp K on Kenai Lake - they all refer to the same camp. |
Nestled among
the spruce forests along Kenai Lake in Cooper Landing, 'Camp
K on Kenai Lake' provides the perfect environment for youth
to explore the natural world around them, engage in challenging
activities and form friendships that can last a lifetime.
With the supportive guidance of camp counselors, campers
build their own unique community in which each member can
experience a sense of belonging, connectedness, safety, acceptance
and appreciation. A rang of session lengths are available
for youth ages 6 to 17. Round trip transportation is provided
from Anchorage and Girdwood. When you are ready to register, you may do so online or
we will be happy to assist you in person at our office located
at 161 Klevin St. in Anchorage (Map). |
