Fastest Growing Camp Trend: Family Camp Programs

Frequently Kansas City parents pick their children up from camp to hear them tell tales of new friends, singing songs around the campfire, and other unique programming, such as rock star lessons, swimming with manatees, rock climbing, and even trapeze lessons! Listening attentively, parents find themselves wishing they could have gone to camp too, and now, they can!

Children and adults alike are more plugged in today than ever. From MP3 Players to computers and TV, families are tuned into the media and entertainment industries—leaving them without opportunities to communicate as a family. Camp gives families a chance to unplug and to unite, opening the lines of communication.

Family camp programs, one of the fastest growing camp trends, allow two or three generations within a family to attend camp together! In fact, there has been a 215 percent increase in family camp programs in the past 15 years.

One great family camp only a few hours from Kansas City is Kanakuk Kaua’i Family Kamp. The whole family can enjoy water slides, high ropes courses, mini golf, ziplines, and devotions to Biblical teachings. What a great opportunity to spend quality time with your kids, enjoying the outdoors and each other. Kanakuk.com/family. 417.266.3210.
