Kanakuk Kamps, one of the largest Christian sports camps in the United States, was added to the list following multiple reports that the camp covered up multiple incidents of sexual abuse.

NCOSE cited multiple reports, including an investigative piece on the Branson, Missouri-based camp published in March of last year by David and Nancy French for The Dispatch.

“Between April – June 2021, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation was contacted by three survivors of sexual abuse allegedly taking place at Kanakuk,” NCOSE explained.

“One survivor we spoke with said that finally at age 70 he was sharing what happened to him for the first time when he was a young counselor at the camp. Another was a dad of young boys who was abused as a ‘kamper’ while a young teen.”
