Camp Kanannaq
Camp Kanannaq offers an exciting summer camp experience that focuses on fun, adventure, learning, and creativity in a safe and cooperative environment.
It is a place where young people can learn about nature and be physically active, acquire new skills, build self-confidence and establish lasting friendships.
Kanannaq [~can-a-nack~] is Inuit for North Wind. This youth day camp provides every child the opportunity to actively participate in the rustic outdoors during the day and sleep in the comforts of their own beds during the night. Camp Kanannaq is located at Nukko Lake.
Camp Kanannaq returns July 3 - August 24, 2012
