The new director has made so many upgrades to make this camp very clean, well staffed and fun. The worship and speaker Mr. John Lane was incredible!! All our kids enjoyed the worship that was offered.. not to mention the amazing beach and daily free kids activities!!! Thanks for an amazing week! Can't wait for next year :)

This is our first year at covenant hills. Our family loved it. The beach was wonderful and had the swimming areas well marked. The kids were able to play on the blob, the water trampoline, and the zip line. We are now planning this as a yearly trip. So many great memories have been made. Thank you so much.

My stay was absolutely amazing. I was here for a week and loved every day of this camp. I stayed in a tent and found everything to be very accommodating. The new leadership is so fun and engaged with every aspect of the camp. The zip lines and the blob at the beach were a blast, and staff take every safety precaution to mind. While spacing is a bit tight, the lots are very long, and have good width. It's very comfortable and if you have a camper they have full hook up. There is a specific church camp week where this year all activities were free, and that was so awesome!!!!! I absolutely recommend going to the family/church camp week. The activities were a blast, but the message from the pastor this year, have been absolutely amazing. There are also services for all different age groups in the morning. If you have the spare time next year to come to this week of camp, I absolutely recommend!
