Welcome to Harbor Point Ministries

Harbor Point Ministries is the governing body for both Covenant Harbor and Covenant Point, the two Christian camps owned by the Central Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

The Executive Director of Harbor Point Ministries (a part time position) assists the HPM Board in its governing practices and helps each camp in special ways as needed. This consists primarily of publishing summer promotional materials and raising funds that are used for joint expenses. These funds are procured through gifts from individuals and churches as well as annual dinners, held in various regions of the Conference. After the necessary expenses are paid, the funds are equally divided between the two camps.

In addition to these operating expenses, Harbor Point Ministries collects scholarship funds for both camps. The majority of these funds come from an endowment that grows through memorial and honor gifts. Another endowment fund is in place for future ministry development. Estate gifts also are a great help to Harbor Point Ministries and each camp. Many of these estate gifts are managed by Covenant Trust Company, a part of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

Giving to Harbor Point Ministries can be done by credit card or check. These may be sent to:

Welcome to Covenant Harbor

Covenant Harbor Bible Camp and Retreat Center, located on Geneva Lake in southeastern Wisconsin, is a Christian camp that seeks to help campers, families and guests experience God through Jesus Christ.

  • Our summer camp programs are designed to challenge campers to grow in their faith while experiencing fun activities in the care of a loving counselor. Programs are available for students in grade 1-12 and for families.

  • Our Snake Road Adventure Center and outdoor education program is rooted in experiential education where hands-on learning are our primary vehicle for learning. We operate programs year-round and are dedicated to providing the highest quality services possible for each individual and group.

  • We recognize that spiritual growth happens throughout life and often in community. Our ministry to adults in Geneva Bay Center involves one day and multi-day retreats, summer worship services and Elderhostel programs both on-site and off-site.

  • We not only offer fantastic youth, family and senior programming, but also a variety of group rental options designed to draw people from their routines into opportunities to enjoy creation, recreation and relationships. Come just for the day or stay for a week!

Welcome to Covenant Point

Covenant Point, located on Hagerman Like in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, offers youth camps, family camps, trips and retreats for everyone. During seven weeks of youth camp—some on the mainland and some on our own private island—we clearly present the Gospel and challenge campers to take ownership of their faith and encourage them to grow in an environment that is filled with fun.

In non-summer months we host various retreats for Trailblazers, Junior High, Senior High, Women, Men, and Families. The camp is also available to private groups and churches for residential retreats and day programs, and programs are offered to school groups by Agents of the Earth, our year-round outdoor education program. These programs are tailored to each school's individual needs.
