Camp Kushtaka 2010 Starts In:


Nestled among the spruce forests along Kenai Lake in Cooper Landing, Camp Kushtaka provides the perfect environment for youth to explore the natural world around them, engage in challenging activities and form friendships that can last a lifetime. With the supportive guidance of camp counselors, campers build their own unique community in which each member can experience a sense of belonging, connectedness, safety, acceptance and appreciation. Four day, six day and ten day sessions are available for youth ages 7 to 18. Round trip transportation is provided from Anchorage and Girdwood.

Camp Sessions are creatively designed to meet the needs of the youngest first time campers as well as our returning campers. They are engaging, exciting, safe and fun for any child or young adult.

 When you are ready to register, you may do so online or we will be happy to assist you in person at our office located at 161 Klevin St. in Anchorage (Map).

If you have any questions about the camp program, please contact the Camping Program Director Theresa Serr-Burek. She's always happy to talk about camp!
