Camp Kinawind is for those who want adventure, rustic camping, and to learn
about and praise God in His creation. The camp consists of 500 wooded acres
located on Thumb Lake, part of the Lake Louise Christian Community.
Campers are assigned to groups of approximately 8-12 campers and 2
counselors. Within these groups, campers learn how to live as a Christian
community while participating in outdoor camping skills and group building
activities. Most of the groups onsite will choose their activities from
hiking, boating, group building and swimming options. Choices range based on
the grade levels of the group. Off-site voyager camps are also available for
senior high aged campers. Elementary aged campers stay in cabins with electricity. Junior high and
senior high campers generally sleep in partially enclosed tent cabins,
without electricity. Off-site voyager camps utilize tents.
Events for Kinawind are led by deans who are United Methodist ministers or
active, committed laypersons. The dean plans the program, recruits and
trains any volunteer staff, and supervises the program during the camp week.
