Bacon has returned! 🐈

Our neighbor’s cat has once again resumed his seasonal patrols around Covenant Harbor. Bacon is a camp favorite. Probably more well loved then some of our campers favorite counselors!

He moves through camp like a tiny furry cryptid—somehow both elusive and everywhere at the same time. One minute he’s sneaking through the grass like a wilderness predator, the next he’s demanding attention from anyone willing to stop and say hello.

Friendly. Mysterious. Awe inspiring.

Summer at camp officially feels closer now that Bacon is back on duty.

There’s something special about camp in the fall.

The air gets cooler. The lake grows quieter. The pace slows down just enough for groups to reconnect in meaningful ways.

Church retreats, school groups, leadership teams, nonprofits, and organizations are already beginning to reserve dates at Covenant Harbor for the fall season.

Whether your group is looking for adventure, team building, worship, learning, or simply time together away from routine, camp creates space for all of it.

Fall dates are beginning to fill, now is the time to start planning.

Covenant Harbor provides Christian camps and retreats in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Group retreats are a large part of camp. We'd love to serve your church!

A few more campers are about to get their camp week. 🌊

We’ve opened a limited number of additional Week 1 Pier 30 spots for girls at Covenant Harbor Bible Camp, and boys spots are expected to follow soon.

That means more campers getting to experience lake days, worship in the tent, late-night cabin laughs, campfires, climbing, waterfront adventures, and everything that makes summer at camp unforgettable.

If you’ve still been hoping for a Week 1 opening, this is your chance.

Come spend your season somewhere that matters.

Throughout the year, we have employment opportunities for a variety of unique, challenging, and exciting positions to serve God by serving guests.

This spring we welcomed dozens of school groups to Covenant Harbor including every 6th grade class from across Downers Grove, Illinois schools.

Coming to Covenant Harbor has become an amazing tradition for each 6th grade class over the last few springs. Students spend the day at camp, hiking, fishing, playing games and shooting at the archery range.

Spring groups are winding down as we get ready for summer camp but we are still welcoming groups for this coming fall. A trip to Covenant Harbor is a great way to start and end the school year!

Summer camp may only last a few weeks for campers—but the work behind it starts long before they arrive.

Right now, our team is preparing camp for another season of worship, laughter, friendship, challenge, and growth. And we’re still looking for a few more people to help make it happen.

Part-time opportunities remain available in hospitality, food service, activities programming at Covenant Harbor.

If you’re looking for work with purpose, strong community, and a beautiful setting by the lake, we’d love to connect with you.

Camp is almost here and we wanted to remind our camp families...

Bumps, scrapes, bug bites, sunburn, and the occasional mystery bruise can all be a part of a week at camp. ☀️🌲

Accurate medical information helps our staff provide the safest and best possible care for every camper throughout the summer. It also ensures we're prepared for everything from daily medications to allergies and emergency contacts.

Make sure you completed your medical forms by the deadline (May 15)😲 A few minutes now helps us create a smooth check-in and a great camp experience later.

Thank you for helping us get ready for summer!

Summer may be around the corner but fall retreat season is already taking shape.

Church groups, nonprofits, leadership teams, and schools are beginning to reserve dates at Covenant Harbor for fall retreats and gatherings.

If your organization is thinking about a retreat, now is the time to start planning.

Covenant Harbor provides Christian camps and retreats in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Group retreats are a large part of camp. We'd love to serve your church!
