SUMMER YOUTH CAMPS: Kawkawa Camp & Retreat is located in Hope BC.  The camp has 20 acres of property with dining hall, cabins, chapel, washrooms and more and is situated on beautiful Kawkawa Lake. The summer youth camps from ages 12-18 includes a full schedule of lake-front fun, solid learning time with cabin mates and many games and skills activities such as archery, canoeing, and frisbee golf!  Aside from the crazy games the thought-provoking chapel, campfire, and devotional times often provide a lasting challenge for many campers.

LEADERS IN TRAINING (LIT): Kawkawa Camp also offers a "Leaders in Training" program that we highly recommend for students ages 15-18. The L.I.T. Program at Kawkawa is an exciting and intense two-week program centered upon the spiritual, character, and moral development of the individual. The first week will include learning about what makes and defines a leader; how to create and lead a devotional, personal development skills, how to effectively lead games and activities and several other seminars crucial to being a well-trained leader. The second week will be centered around putting into practice many of the tools learned in the first week. L.I.T. students will shadow a lead counselor for the week and assist in the daily program of Kawkawa. Between all the training, there will be scheduled times for waterfront activities, skills training (archery/riflery), group development activities and campfires. Limited to 12 students.
