The boys camp was started outside Branson, Missouri in 1926 as Camp Kugaho. The camp was soon taken over by Bill Lantz, a Tulsa, Oklahoma , high school coach of considerable merit. In 1956 , Spike and Darnell White built a corresponding girls camp, Camp Kanakomo. Nine other Kanakuk Camps have been built in Missouri and Colorado since 1979 . The current Kanakuk president is Joe White, a regular speaker on the Evangelical Promise Keepers movement for men. The camp's Theology is closely in line with that of evangelical Christians, such as James Dobson , who is a regular promoter of the camp. In 1993 , Kids Across America (KAA), a non-profit sports camp for urban youth was established in Golden, Missouri . Originally under the Kanakuk umbrella, it is now autonomous, although still affiliated with Kanakuk. KAA is currently divided into four camps: KAA-1 is for ages 10-12, KAA-2 is for ages 13-14, KAA-3 is for ages 15-18, and Higher Ground is a leadership camp for specially-chosen youth ages 15-18.
