Cancelled

With great disappointment, to let you know that Covenant Harbor’s 2020 GOLF for kids has been cancelled. As we monitor the ongoing spread of Covid-19 in Wisconsin and consider the welfare of our golfers, we believe it’s wisest to not hold the event this year. The results of our survey indicated support for going forward with caution. Unfortunately, even that approach no longer seems viable. Thank you for understanding.

While we don’t know what 2021 will look like, we are anticipating a GOLF for kids event. For now, we have confirmed a tentative date for next year’s event as Monday, Sept. 20, 2021! Please take a look at the information below for more about GOLF for kids.

That said, you can still support Covenant Harbor – and there’s no better time than right now to do that! Usually, the funds you contribute through GOLF for kids support camper scholarships. This year, however, supporting the camp’s operations during this challenging time of Covid-19 is the greatest need. Had we held the event, we would be redirecting your support to the Covenant Harbor Fund, which supports the overall ministry.

In the spirit of GOLF for kids, would you consider donating your full GOLF for kids registration fee (of $205 or more) to the Covenant Harbor Fund? Every gift helps reduce our operational deficit, which is significant. If you are able to consider a sponsorship donation this year, we have suggested options for you to consider listed on the donation form. We will gladly acknowledge charitable donations made to the Covenant Harbor Fund before Aug. 15, by name only, in three ways:

On Covenant Harbor’s GOLF for kids web page.
In the annual publication of Harbor Point Ministries, The Camping News, which is mailed in September, and this year includes special acknowledgement of friends who are helping sustain camp ministry through the pandemic. This publication is mailed to almost 6,000 homes.
In a regular Covenant Harbor Saturday update email in September. These email updates are sent to almost 8,000 recipients.

I hope this finds you safe and healthy this summer and pray for your continued health through the uncertain seasons ahead. Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support of camp ministry at Covenant Harbor! I look forward to seeing you personally in September 2021, if not before.

History

GOLF for kids was started in 1994 to raise scholarship funds for camp so that all campers could experience a life-changing camp experience at Covenant Harbor. Antwan Williams is an example of the impact of GOLF for kids. Antwan’s first camp experience at Covenant Harbor was made possible in 1997 by a GOLF for kids scholarship. He later became one of the most respected counselors to serve on summer staff. Tragically, Antwan’s life was taken too soon in 2006 during a car accident. His family allowed Covenant Harbor to honor the legacy he left behind as staff and camper by renaming the GOLF for kids event so others would know Antwan’s story and that more kids would have life-changing camp experiences.

Thanks to the partnership of sponsors and participants of our annual GOLF for kids events and the generosity of many faithful ministry partners, Covenant Harbor has been able to provide over $440,000 in financial assistance through scholarship funds for campers over the past six years. Our 2018 event raised over $43,000. Many thanks to all who made last year’s event a success!
