Summer 2024 Opening Day Drop-Off Schedule

Families have two-options for Kamper Drop-Off this year! Kampers may be dropped off on Opening Day anytime between:

 

2pm – 4PM

 

In-Kamp Drop-Off:

Park and enter Kamp with your Kamper as they meet their counselors and get ready for all the fun of their term.  While with us, you’ll see their cabin, meet our staff, and participate in the excitement of opening day activities at Kanakuk.

 

Express Kamper Drop-Off:

Enjoy the efficiency of our express drop-off option by unloading your luggage and Kamper right at the car.  After a quick hug and goodbye, we will help your Kamper get settled into their cabin and introduced to their counselors as they begin their Best. Summer. Ever!   You will be in and out in no time.

 

Tips for a Smoother Opening Day Experience

For the most efficient drop-off experience, complete your medical forms and all other registration steps in The Kanakuk App or online at kanakuk.com before arrival. For a more detailed look at Opening Day Kamper Drop-off, download The Kanakuk App!


We are excited to welcome your family and are prepping for your Kamper's arrival, however, to ensure the best drop-off experience for all of our families we ask that you do not arrive prior to the 2pm-4pm window.


Have multiple Kampers at multiple Kamps? Not a problem! Our Drop-Off times are intentionally long enough to accommodate enough time to move between Kamps.

If you have Kampers at both Branson and Lampe Kamps, we ask that you start with the earlier pick-up time first. We’ll make sure your Kamper is ready for you upon your arrival.
