REGISTRATION: Click HERE to connect with your local Salvation Army office to register for camp.
Located in the heart of Alaska's beautiful Mat-Su Valley, The Salvation Army's King's Lake Camp provides an opportunity for children from all over Alaska to learn more about nature and grow closer to God.
Our program at King's Lake Camp is intended to help young people develop new skills, instill a sense of self-confidence, promote positive social interactions, and discover God's creation. As the Salvation Army is part of the universal Christian Church, each camping session includes fun, captivating, and age-appropriate Bible instruction. Whether through fun lessons, memorizing bible verses, or singing silly songs, your kids will have the chance to draw closer to God in a new and very real way.
King's Lake Camp provides children with the opportunity to learn new skills or improve upon old ones with a variety of activities such as archery, arts and crafts, boating, swimming, sports, and much more. Our well-trained staff ensure that the week your child spends at King's Lake Camp is one of the best they have ever had!
