The boys camp was started outside Branson, MO in 1926 as Camp Kugaho. The camp was soon taken over by Uncle Bill Lantz, a Tulsa, Oklahoma high school coach of considerable merit. In 1956, Spike and Darnell White built Camp Kanakomo for girls.

Nine other Kanakuk Camps have been built in Missouri and Colorado since 1979. The current Kanakuk president is Joe White, a regular speaker on the evangelical Promise Keepers movement for men. The camp's theology is closely in line with fundamentalist Christians, such as James Dobson, who is a regular promoter of the camp.
