Summer 2026 Theme: Overcomer

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16: 33 
 
Life often throws us challenges that seem impossible to overcome, leaving many feeling overwhelmed. At KAA, we recognize these battles and are prepared to empower our campers to become overcomers. As we gear up for Summer 2026, we embrace being overcomers in Christ Jesus, with hope in the One who has already overcome the world. Just as Christ has conquered all, we too can overcome our trials through Him. 

Registration Fees

The cost to host 1 camper for 1 week at camp is $1000. KAA raises 80% of the camping costs, allowing youth from all over the U.S. to encounter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

Each attendee receives an $800 scholarship from KAA! 

The registration cost to attend one session at KAA is $225 per person.

A $25 per person deposit and completion of the online policy agreement is needed to solidify registration.

Any previous unpaid balances will need to be paid before you can complete registration for the upcoming year. Credits are applied to your balance as you complete the payment steps.
