Parents!
Weekly Sessions are categorized by age and grade of each child!
We are hopeful overnight summer camp will be allowed and are planning for that scenario until we feel it would be unsafe to do so or the government specifies this year’s restrictions!
We promise to have a fun, energetic, and faith-focused summer we have come to know and love here at Covenant Bay! We encourage you to register for the session that fits your child best!
What parents have to say!

Questions about the Cost?
50 % of the cost of summer camp is covered through generous and dedicated donors and organizations. You will notice that during registration that all camp fees are reduced by half. Want to say thank you to our donors. Send us a note and we will pass it along.
Just like our donors, we want every child to attend summer camp. If you know of a camper who needs extra support click tell us about it.
Daily Schedule
Schedule
Twice a day we gather for a time of worship. Our speakers bring the Biblical truths to life through stories, games, and engagement with the campers.
We continually aim to create opportunities to speak openly with our campers. Meaning during meals, walks to the next activity, or cabin or group time we are intentional about asking the campers about their life and journey with God.
We recognize that common experiences, fun, and honesty, create lifelong, vibrant relationships.
We approach this in a variety of different ways.
- Large and small group activities
- High energy Fun!
- Intentional times of mentorship and conversation
- Worship and Biblical Teaching
- Activities that foster growth

F.A.Q
Pick up is 7:00 pm and Drop off is 10:00 am for all overnight camps.
We are hoping and praying for overnight camps this summer! This means, as you register, you are registering for an overnight camp session. We will make any decisions or changes closer to the date of camp.
The health and safety of each camper, staff, and visitor are always of the utmost importance. We will continue to update everyone on guidelines, restrictions, and health advisories as we continue to stay informed on Covid-19 protocol and any other circumstances.
We will continue to rely on the guidelines set by schools and the Alberta board of education as a guide for best practice as well as Christian Camping International and the Alberta Camping Association.
Financial Aid
We understand that not every camper will have the means to attend camp. If your camper needs financial assistance to attend camp this summer we want to help! Fill out the form below. After your application has been reviewed we will send you our decision and instructions. We hope to see you this summer!
Memory Verse Program
We think that scripture is amazing. We have an incentive for your child to memorize scripture. Have your child memorize the verses outlined in the Memory Verse Guide for their grade and say them to your pastor, teacher, or church leader and they will get their camp registration for free!
