Multiple victims have accused Kanakuk Kamps of putting children in danger by ignoring repeated warnings, according to court documents and the new lawsuit.

Logan Yandell started going to Kanakuk in Branson, Missouri when he was 7 years old. It was the summer of 2002 and he was excited—the Christian sports camp advertised the “best summer ever” and was popular with the older kids from his church.

Kanakuk wasn’t an obvious fit for his personality. A quiet, shy kid, he wasn’t particularly athletic and much preferred to play music. But he saw the camp as an extension of his church, which was important to him and his family. Kanakuk touts itself as a summer wonderland set against the backdrop of Christian teachings, and nearly half a million campers have passed through its gates since it was founded in 1926. Parents pay thousands of dollars a week for their kids to mix faith with outdoor adventures like canoeing, water slides, ziplines, archery, and more.

When Yandell arrived on the camp’s sprawling campus, he met Pete Newman almost immediately. A former counselor turned director, Newman was Kanakuk’s star, and seen as the disciple of Joe White, Kanakuk’s CEO and a high profile Evangelical speaker.

“I wanted to be like Pete when I grew up,” Yandell, now 27, told VICE News. “Pete was adored by so many people and families and respected from the camp; they elevated him so much. He was the camp’s poster-child.”

What happened next was devastating: Yandell would become one of dozens of boys victimized by Newman, who was ultimately convicted of child sexual abuse. Camp leaders were adamant they had no idea Newman posed a risk to kids. But years later, his victims and their families have accused the camp, according to previous court documents and a new lawsuit, of putting children in danger by ignoring repeated warnings about his inappropriate behavior. And a new lawsuit from one victim accuses the camp of covering up negligence by coercing victims into signing fraudulent non-disclosure agreements.
