Camp Tanako Alumni

Join the Alumni Email List
It takes about a minute. We'll be in touch when there's news from camp.
Camp Tanako opened on Lake Catherine in 1948. In the years since, generations of Arkansas children, youth, and adults have come to the lake for a week at camp — and have carried home friendships, faith, and memories that shaped the rest of their lives. This page is for the people in those memories: former campers, counselors, summer staff, volunteers, deans, board members, and the families who packed kids up and dropped them off at the lake.

We're glad you're here.


Find us on Facebook

The Camp Tanako Alumni Facebook group is a private space where vintage photos from the archives — going back to 1948 — live alongside the people who were in them. Alumni tag old cabin-mates, name faces in group shots, and share the stories behind them. If you're on Facebook, come join us.

The Alumni Email List

Not everyone is on Facebook — and Facebook isn't always good about showing groups to the people who want to see them. We also keep an alumni email list. If you'd like to stay in touch with the camp by mail, sign up below.

What to expect: occasional news from camp, alumni gatherings, and the chance to support the ministry that's been at Tanako since 1948. Nothing more often than a few times a year.
