Our Camp

    

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!

What to bring to camp:

Children should bring a sleeping bag and pillow as well as clothes for a whole week, a towel, swimsuit, toiletries, and any necessary medications. Insect repellent is strenuously recommended. During Music Camp, they should bring any musical instruments they plan on playing (though some are provided). Cash should NOT be brought to camp unless needed for travel.

   

The Salvation Army is participating in the Summer Food Service Program. Meals will be provided to all eligible children free of charge. (To be eligible to receive free meals at a residential or non-residential camp, children must meet the income guidelines for reduced-price meals in the National School Lunch Program. The income guidelines for reduced-price meals by family size are listed on the next page.) Children who are part of households that receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly foods stamps) benefits, or benefits under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) are automatically eligible to receive free meals.

Acceptance and participation requirements for the Program and all activities are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
