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 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 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."

Virtual Tour Requires Java


Disclaimer:  A few changes have been made to our kampus since this virtual tour was shot three years ago.  Now there is a new classroom building which is not shown in the tour.  Some rooms are set up differently, including the coffee shop, which is now simply a study area.  However, the tour still gives a great peek into Kauai's look and feel.  Kabanas are accurately pictured.  For the best look at Kauai, come see us!!
