Kanuga’s Opportunity Your OpportunityKanuga’s Opportunity……is to fulfill its sacred mandate of service to God’s people as a welcoming and hospitable host, an innovative and creative center of Christian teaching and worship, a wise and loving nurturer of children, a trustworthy and stalwart guardian of treasured traditions, and a faithful steward of Kanuga’s revered God-given and man-made resources. Kanuga’s opportunity is made possible by the people we serve—more than 35,000 guests, campers and conference participants last year alone. In responding to their many, diverse, sometimes urgent and profound needs, Kanuga has become an ever-more vibrant, thriving source of rejuvenation, inspiration, learning and grace throughout every season of every year.

Kanuga’s opportunity is to be a conscientious caretaker of 1,400 of the most beautiful acres in all God’s creation and to maintain all facilities and equipment in prime condition.

Kanuga’s opportunity is to serve the Church as host to the Province IV Synod, the House of Bishops, the Anglican Consultative Council and the Anglican Primates. Kanuga’s opportunity is to make sure there are rocking chairs on the porch by the lake, hot coffee and toast on the breakfast tables, fresh towels in the guest rooms, canoes and fishing poles by the lake, safety helmets and harnesses at the climbing tower and stacks of seasoned firewood by each cottage door. Your Opportunity......is to attend conferences led by compelling teachers who challenge your mind, build your skills, feed your soul and restore your spirit. Your opportunity is to return year after year with your family and other staunchly loyal Guest Period “regulars” to your special cottage, your traditional table, your favorite trail, your best fishing spot and your joyful reunion with your many Kanuga friends. Your opportunity is to build trust and unity among the parishioners of your home church during Parish Family Weekends and to return to your community refreshed and inspired to do God’s work more effectively than ever. Your opportunity is to send your children to Camp Kanuga every summer, to spur their growth and maturity from their fi rst nights away from home through their guiding a new generation of campers as counselors.

When you respond with a generous gift, Kanuga’s opportunity becomes your opportunity to serve God and His children through your support of Kanuga’s most worthy programs and purpose.

It is my honor and privilege to have been entrusted with leading Kanuga’s management team now for almost 22 years and a pleasure to have worked alongside so many of you, whom I count among God’s worthiest of servants. It is your friendship and fi erce loyalty to Kanuga that has always and will always make all things possible. As a most dedicated, devoted friend of Kanuga, I encourage you to make the most of your opportunity to give to this year’s Annual Fund. Your gift is your opportunity to keep our beloved Kanuga as heartwarming as a cottage fireplace, as nourishing as a hearty breakfast in the dining room, as inspiring as a sunrise over Kanuga Lake, as profound as a moment of reflection at St. Francis Chapel, and every bit as enduring as Eagle Rock.
