What We're About.
Kattivik Bible Camp is a camp ran by ChangePoint Kotzebue pastors and various volunteers from around the country. The word "kattivik" is an Inupiaq word meaning "meeting place" and that's exactly what our camps are designed to do - to be a meeting place for the youth of Northern Alaska to meet God on the land He has created. We focus on three areas of growth as we camp;
Cultural Growth - We desire to allow our Inupiaq native youth learn more about our culture by spending time fishing, cutting fish, shooting, chopping wood, hiking, and other activities.
Emotional Growth - We help our youth grow emotionally by giving them a safe space to be open and vulnerable with their peers. Many of our youth come in shy or with built up emotional walls and leave with new friends and new ways to express their emotional needs and share their story.
Spiritual Growth - Most important out of all of these, we are first and foremost a Bible Camp and a meeting place for students to meet the Lord. We preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified and the forgiveness of our sins through His death and resurrections. Every student will leave this camp knowing Jesus more than they did when they arrived, and many youth develop a strong personal relationship with God right here at Kattivik Bible Camp.
