Day Camps

Age Groups: 

We want to offer the best possible experience for every camper, so we intentionally structure age-specific programming throughout each day. We create teams of campers of similar age in order to facilitate an age appropriate experience for all campers. There are plenty of times in the day where everybody is together, making it a great opportunity for siblings, neighbors, and friends to be at camp together! 

Note that the grade for our camp programs is based on the upcoming (2024-2025) school year. Therefore, during the summer, Day Camps (1st-6th Grade) will be filled with campers who have just finished K-5th grade. 

With that in mind, we build intentional elements into the schedules to allow kids to learn, grow, and have fun. 

Programming: 

All day campers have the chance to participate in waterfront activities, choose an adventure activity, visit the camp store and engage with different elective options. Electives are age-appropriate, skill-based options during the week where campers can choose from things like Aquatics, Adventure, Arts and Crafts or Active skills. All electives are chosen at camp by the camper to encourage independence and character development. While at camp, they will build relationships with their team and counselor, learn about the Bible together, and get the opportunity to learn and try new things. 

Arrival and Departure Information

Check-in occurs each morning. For reasons of safety and security, specific information regarding arrival and departure is sent directly via email to registered campers only. Please call our office with any questions. 

Upon arrival to check-in, our staff will greet you at your car and you will go through our drive-through check-in process. 

Check-out occurs in the afternoon.

Late arrival or early pick-up is not recommended and should be considered only in extreme circumstances. If you must arrive late for any reason please call our office in advance so we may prepare for your arrival. Early pick-up can be arranged at check-in. We will not allow a camper to be picked up and dropped off more than once during the camp day because of the negative experience that it has on your camper and other campers.

Directions

A variety of routes make Covenant Harbor accessible from any surrounding area. Our address is 1724 W Main St., Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. See our Map and Directions page for detailed arrival instructions.

Families are invited to join us after check-out on the Thursday of your *week of camp! Come meet your child’s counselor and learn about their week at Day Camp. Enjoy a potluck style dinner with us. Let us know by check-out on Tuesday of your week of camp if you will be joining us! If you plan to join, please bring a side to share or a dessert (no nuts, please!). 

*Family Night is only scheduled for our 5-day Day Camps. 

Before your camper leaves camp or when you return home, we ask them to fill out a survey. Once they are home, we want to hear from you after you and your camper have had a chance to debrief. These surveys are important as they help us learn how to better serve campers and their families.

Packing List:

Campers should have a range of clothes for any weather. Clothing should allow campers to be active. Include closed-toe shoes for activities and water shoes for swimming. A backpack or tote bag makes it simple to carry items to and from camp. A detailed packing list will be sent after you register along with the parent manual.

What NOT to Bring: 

Do not bring cell phones or any pets, electronic devices (including CD players, game systems, and iPods), personal sports equipment, firearms, weapons of any kind, fireworks, tobacco, alcohol or drugs.

If your camper has a cell phone, please leave it at home. Camper who bring a cell phone to camp may be dismissed from the camp program.

*Please note that peanuts/tree-nuts or peanut/tree-nut products are not allowed.

Spending Money:

Prior to camp (recommended) and at check-in, you will have the opportunity to deposit money in your camper’s spending money account. Campers have the opportunity to visit the camp store each day.  Depositing spending money allows your camper to make choices without having to keep track of any cash.  The store carries candy (.25-1.50), snacks (.25-2.00), drinks (.50-2.00), souvenirs (.25-25.00) and clothing (5.00-45.00).  Campers are only allowed to go to the store once each day and are limited per day on the amount spent on candy and snacks. We do not limit water or Gatorade.

Mission Project: 

Throughout the week, campers will learn about this project and will have the opportunity to donate a portion of their spending money (between $0-$5.00) to our mission project.
