Our mission at Covenant Pines Ministries is to encourage campers to take a next step in Christian faith. Our desire is to have as many campers as possible to make their way up to camp to have an opportunity to experience the love of Christ. There are many factors to consider while sending a camper to camp, but we work hard to make sure that financial hardship isn’t a reason for a camper to not attend. This summer, we provided $46,500 in scholarship funds to over 250 campers at Covenant Pines Bible Camp.
Our scholarship fund is supported throughout the year by generous donors, our scholarship endowment and the profits from our Annual Golf Tournament. We also partner with our Twin Cities Churches to provide assistance to families. This summer, over 200 campers also received over $50,000 in financial support from their church to be able to attend camp. We are grateful for the partnership of these local churches that recognize the importance of a week at camp for these students.
One parent wrote, “Covenant Pines not only has had a significant impact on my life, but now my son’s too. I want to be sure he can continue to grow spiritually and build lasting friendships in a Christian environment. His camp scholarship not only makes this possible for my son, but also contributes to his personal and spiritual growth in ways that will have lasting impact.”
Camp is an investment. We know it comes at a significant cost and sacrifice to many families as they support the faith formation of their child. We work hard and partner with our churches to ensure any camper who wants to attend camp is able to financially. This allows us more opportunity to live out our mission and encourage campers to take their next steps in Christian faith. We are thankful for our donors and churches for their generosity- and we are grateful for the 250+ campers we were able to have at camp this summer thanks to scholarships.
