Camp's more than just fun! It's about our values of Belonging, Growth, and Togetherness (and Adventure!).
A week of camp teaches skills that are essential for life and provides experiences that you won't find anywhere else.
Kids' + Youth Programs
The classic summer camp experience - Kuriakos style. With a focus on relationships, and our values of Belonging, Growth, and Togetherness, our summer camps are sure to have an impact on your camper for years to come. Whether it's learning new skills, making friends, growing in faith, or spending time outside, there's always something positive happening at summer camp.
Junior and Senior Youth Camps hold all the fun of Kids camps, with new experiences and deeper learning.
Ready for something a little more "adventurous"? Based out of our Wilderness Site (2km walk from the main site), these small-group programs focus on camping and survival skills, sleeping in large tents and cooking on the fire. Adventure campers spend all thier time outside, rain or shine and learn to enjoy being in nature. Enjoy a canoe trip (day or overnight) on Sylvan Lake, and learn or develop your paddling skills.
maximum 16 campers
Can't wait till summer? We've got a camp for that. Family, Youth and Confirmation Retreats run all year to keep you connected to the Kuriakos community. Join the fun and see another side of Kuriakos.

Their first full week at camp! An experience like no other for kids: canoeing, swimming, games, climbing wall, and many more activities. Learning about nature, God, and each other in an open environment where questions can be asked and fun will be had!
These campers will participate in worship, campfire and meals with the whole camp community, and split off into smaller villages (made up of 2 cabin groups) for activities, Quest (Bible Study) and sleeping times. Our cabin leaders focus on fun, safety and building relationships with each camper in their care.

A great first time camp for kids who haven't been away from home before! Small cabin groups mean lots of one-on-one attention from staff. Kids get to spend lots of time in the outdoors doing new fun activities.
Mini campers are welcomed into the community by the Kids Campers who have been at Kuriakos all week. They join in worship, meals and campfire times with the older kids, while having a smaller group closer to their age for activities, Quest (Bible Study) and sleeping.
