Kishwauketoe
Kishwauketoe (or “Kish” for short) is for the campers entering 2nd through 4th grade that are looking for an overnight experience at Covenant Harbor. Kish offers partial week (2 or 3 nights) and full week (4 or 5 nights) camp experiences for your camper.
Time together!
Kish serves our littlest overnight campers, because of this the group size is intentionally small and we focus on time together! The Kishwauketoe Village is small and offers space away from the rest of the camp, with its own playgrounds, swing sets, field area, carpetball tables, and clubhouse for sessions. This layout allows Kish campers to get to know each other, play their own games and feel comfortable knowing all the other Kish campers.
Kish is fun.
Kish is packed with activities for everyone! Activities at our waterfront like the water trampoline or slide, adventure activities, arts and crafts, carpetball, campfires (and s’mores!) and so much more! Kish kids spend the week together, getting to know their cabin mates and counselor, and making decisions about what activities they choose to do each day. They also grow in independence and decision-making at the canteen all while singing songs and playing silly games.
Kish is unique for them.
Partial weeks are available on a few different time frames to meet a variety of schedules. Please see the complete schedule at the top of the page for more details. Our programs are unique for each age group of campers from the Kish village, to every activity we are intentional in our programming for our littlest overnight campers.
Kishwauketoe Schedule
Kishwauketoe full-week programs begin on Sunday afternoons and conclude in the late afternoon on Fridays. Partial weeks are available with 2 or 3 night options to best meet the needs of your camper and families schedule. Our programs are unique for each age group of campers as well.

Age Groups
Age Groups:
Note that the grade for our camp programs is based on the upcoming (2025-2026) school year. Therefore, during the summer, Kish (grades 2-4) camps will be filled with campers who have finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. Kish campers must be at least 6 years old by their week of camp to register.
Finding the right camp fit for your camper is important, especially for those campers in between programs. Campers entering 4th grade have the option of a Kishwauketoe week of camp or our Pier 30 camp.
To help, start by asking yourself a few questions about your camper.
- Does your camper prefer to play with younger children?
- Does your camper enjoy being a part of a smaller setting?
- Does your camper prefer a more structured, routine, supportive environment with more boundaries in place?
- Has your child spent less than two nights away from home without you?
If you answered yes to some of these questions, Kish might be the right fit!
You know your camper best, so we encourage you to trust what you feel would be most beneficial for your camper. If you have any questions or concerns about which program is best for your camper, please give us a call at 262-248-3600.
