While at the Institute, you will live on site at Kanakuk's family camp, K-Kauai, where campus designers worked hard to create a Hawaiian feel. For student's recreation, the campus includes two basketball courts, a pool, and playing fields right on the shore of Lake Taneycomo. For more studious pursuits, we offer a classroom, computer lab, library, and study lounge.

Students eat on campus in the dining hall, and can order coffee from the Bamboo Bean. Students will live in a kabana with one roommate. Each kabana is furnished with twin beds, a pull-out couch, coffee table, and two armoires. Each kabana has two bathrooms as well. We think you'll really enjoy our campus here--living life on "the island."
