Summer 2025 Theme: Apply Pressure

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 
 
Fire is hot and unbearable to experience in heavy amounts. This pressure, without the endurance of Christ working within us, breeds debilitating emotions like anxiety and depression. But consider the process of a diamond. A diamond formation occurs when carbon deposits deep within the earth (approximately 90 to 125 miles below the surface) are subject to high temperature and pressure. Some stones take shape in a matter of days or months, while others take years to materialize. We can be thankful for the pressures of life that come, knowing that these situations are shaping us and molding us to look and act more like Christ. 

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.
