Went to this camp for many years, and it wasn’t until later that I started to feel the off vibes of this place, and even working there briefly to really start to see the dark side. The controlling nature of this camp to not only cover up the stories publicly, but also to shame victims to keep them silent is appalling. The culture the camp shames kids into believing they are at fault for abuse and that “turning kids to god” is more important than bringing the perpetrators to justice. Let the kids speak out on this, especially since the silence of Pete Newman’s case left so many people in the dark of what was actually happening for years, despite that being the most public of many cases against the camp staff. Let the voices of the victims be heard!
M supported: Release Kanakuk Victims from Their NDAsI worked at Kanakuk for a couple of years during college. As a staff member, I witnessed staff assault and the men were physically scarred from some of the practices there. This isn’t just about the kids. This is about 40,50,60-year old directors beating up on 17-21 year-old employees. This is about being told “you’re right. This is assault.” Just to keep you quiet. This is about employees being forced to fully cover up at the pool because they have bloodied bodies. This is about the kids being held and played with and saying “no put me down stop now” and the employees getting reprimanded when they physically take the kid away from the staff member who is harassing them. This is about the rules made for women that never apply to the men. This camp has so much darkness that needs to come to light.
Ashlie supported: Release Kanakuk Victims from Their NDAsI went to Kanakuk/Kanakomo for years. My impression of Joe White was the he truly believed in his mission and the kids. Joe if you ever read this - do the right thing and release people. Protecting abusers and yourself isn’t what I imagine Jesus would do, but I found in my adult life that things like this make me question the true hearts of touters of religion. Your behaviour, and lack of it, speaks volumes.
