There is a lot going on at Covenant Bay and we want you to have all the news about all that is going on. So stay tuned and we will get you all the announcements and news you need to stay informed.
We believe that there is nothing more important than a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. To that end, we provide opportunities for all to discover who Jesus is and respond to him!
Covenant Bay does not just do summer camps for children and youth. While this is the main way we encourage people to grow in a relationship with Jesus there is a lot more going on.
We provide a space for churches to host events. Students with school groups come, they have loads of fun, learn a few things and go home telling stories to their brothers and sisters about their time at Covenant Bay.
We also plan and host retreats. These are weekend events where people can come and discover more about Jesus and grow closer to him.
We also have a number of online resources. The Bible Story Podcast has a new episode released every week. Stories from the bible are retold and we learn a more about who the character of God. The Block is an online collection of videos and other posts that are intended to connect and encourage people to grow in a relationship with Jesus. There is space for comments that will allow people to connect with one another.
If you can’t tell we are passionate about people growing in a relationship with Jesus – people like you. Many are skeptical about religion and considering all the extreme religious groups that is probably pretty fair. We do our best to be upfront and transparent. We won’t pretend to be something we are not and we will strive to grow in our own relationship with Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:18 says, But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever! Amen.
One Thousand Hours I must start with a caveat about the following article. The ideas I am sharing are simply thoughts to be pondered and reflected upon and not a commentary on any specific group or individual. I was listening to several podcasts this week while painting some walls in my home office. A…
Summer Thought; Winter Day I sit here, easily distracted by the snow covering the sidewalk, driveways, and roads just outside my living room window. As with much of the world at the moment, I find myself working primarily from home, a scenario I am thankful for but not always good at. I like to move,…

Count Your Blessings If people had the opportunity to relive 2020, I don’t think anyone would take me up on the offer. Yet, I hear people counting their blessings, the good things that have come out of the worldwide crisis. People talk about how their family life has slowed and improved dramatically. Many couples talk…
“Just A Little Off The Top” Thanksgiving is often the time of year when I take stock of the events of the past months. October is often the beginning of the next summer season. Dreams and schemes are being planted and diligently cared for to slowly propagate what will eventually be next year’s summer camp!…
Things I wish I hadn’t Grown Out Of; A Non-Comprehensive Thought I am now at the age that would be considered an “adult,” although I must admit I feel like an imposter most days. I find myself yearning for the freedom, naivety, and homecooked meals of childhood. After ten years or so of working with…
How Are You? Not Such an Obvious Question September is known as National Suicide Awareness month. As I continue to navigate the very abnormal day-to-day we are currently experiencing, I often wonder how the individuals around me are doing. We ask, “How are you?” in any given situation without much emphasis or conviction. The…
This week marks the end of our Summer Programming. We have said hello and goodbye to many campers, families, and friends throughout this season. The “Hello!” was always exciting, and “Goodbye” seemed all too often like a small part of us was leaving. In one of its’ most straightforward definitions, Camp is where relationships are…

I keep catching myself cringing at the word “unprecedented,” having a harsh, adverse response to those five syllables. After the last four months, that word strikes with the heaviness and awkwardness of a soccer ball to the face. (I work in camp ministry, I know the feeling all too well.) The more I hear that…
