Purpose

The purpose of our family camp program is to give families the space and time together that is so hard to find elsewhere.  We want families to grow in the relationships with each other while growing closer to God as individuals and as a family.  Our schedule allows plenty of room for family customization, while carving out space for kids only, adults only and whole-family bonding time.

Tours

There is only so much you can grasp from pictures and our website.  A tour is a great way to see camp for yourself while you hear from our staff details of what camp is like.  Call us today at 262-248-3600 and we would be more than happy to setup a tour for you!

Typical Day

Program Highlights

Adult Service - Adults getaway and focus on their own relationships with God.  Worship, encouragement, coffee and Bible teaching included.  The 1 hour teaching time is followed by 1 hour of adult free time.

Kids Team Activities - Campers are separated by age group and assigned a specific counselor for the morning.  The counselor is responsible for supervision, leadership and care of your children during this time.  Babysitting is provided for kids 3 and under. 

Kids Real Faith - Our goals of this “Bible teaching” is to introduce campers to the person of Jesus Christ.  Each session is creative and age appropriate, and campers are never forced or coerced to make any decisions.  These times are made very interactive with skits, singing, messy games and creative teaching methods.   

Free Time - Several activities are open every day for free time   Some require sign up, which can be done onsite or in advance after registration.  

Evening Activities - These activities are a highlight for most family campers and vary from year to year.  Our desire is to have fun and create lasting memories.

Family Buddy

Each family is assigned one Covenant Harbor staff member as a “family buddy” during the week.  The purpose of a family buddy is to help maximize your family’s experience.  While family buddies do have other responsibilities during the week, they are also available to assist with child care, bond with your family and help your family get what you need from family camp.
