I came here for a group bonding event involving the high and low ropes course. The scene is very gorgeous, right on the lake and plenty of trees and scenery. The actual ropes course is very fun with plenty of various levels for beginner to advanced involving a climbing wall, zip line, and various heights. We also did more group level challenges with an actual leader from the camp. Our leader John was a very thoughtful friendly man who ensured we were safe while working as a team. The bathrooms onsite are very clean. We had lunch here as well, it was 'Taco Tuesday' on a Monday-- a full taco bar with churros, popsicles, and fruit. The dining area is a very classic bare bones camp environment, but the views from the outside tables are phenomenal on a sunny day. They have a small little beach with a pier for kayaking. read more

Covenant Harbor - Pier for kayaking - Summer Camps Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

See all

My daughter and I have attended the mother/daughter retreat at Covenant Harbor for the past 4 years. I can not say enough good things about it! The staff is friendly, the activities were well planned out, the grounds are beautiful, the food is great, the accommodations are clean, comfortable and cozy. My daughter isn't one for overnights so I was shocked when she told me she wanted to go to a week long overnight camp here. This is the ONLY camp she would even look at! Thank you Covenant Harbor for offering such great family programs! read more

Came to Camp to visit friends that were staying there. Compared to our home camp, which I love, the sleeping conditions here were a five star hotel. Air conditioning, friendly staff around each corner to help you find your way, not too many people, and a relaxing lakefront were some of the things I found on my brief stay. read more

Covenant Harbor - Beautiful Sunday afternoon on the lake. - Summer Camps Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

I have been going to camp for 10 years and have loved them all. My first year i only did a half week but i loved it so much and the camp staff was able to get me back in my cabin for the 2nd half of the week. All the staff are nice and i have really grown in my faith throughout the 10 years of camp. Covenant Harbor is like one of my homes I just wish i could stay there forever it is an amazing camp in a great area. Thanks read more

Covenant Harbor is my happy place. It is a safe space where you can have tons of fun and fell a connection to God. The camp counselors and staff DONT push you into making a connection to God, they let you got at the pace you want. My daughters have been going here for years and each and every time they come back with smiles on their face and new friends. The location of the camp is absolutely astonishing! The lake front property is beautiful at every time of the day. The activities that they are able to do blows my mind, tubing, skiing, paddle boarding.....and more! It is CARZY! The camp is a 10/10 and I will keep sending my kids there until they're to old to go. Hahah. read more

This camp is a beautiful place to escape from the stresses of everyday life. Settled in an area next to the lake surrounded by trees and shrubs, including a winding creek. Our church has our annual retreat there and it's always hard to leave, wanting to stay another day. The food is excellent, offering many choices buffet style. We have a bon fire in the evening and make s'mores. The bedrooms fit several people, so my family was able to stay together. A separate building houses a game room and gym with vollyball and basketball nets. Swings and slides for the kids. Beautiful and peaceful. read more

just last week I sent two of my daughters to this camp. it was a recommendation of one of the co-workers from my husbands job. we got there Sunday night, and my girls didn't wanna stay but we forced them to. just two days into camp when I was hoping it would get better, I received a call right in the morning that my daughter got hurt. she ended up in urgent care with two broken bones in her leg. she was in horrible pain. I found out that one of the lifeguards forced my daughter to jump to a blue mat in the water when my daughter didn't feel comfortable. when the lifeguard told her she had to "hurry up and jump" she then jumped and freaked out in the air which resulted her being in a wheelchair now. I would never recommend this camp to anyone. highly disappointed. read more

This is the best overnight summer camp I've been to. Let me start with the fact that it is for Christians, but I've brought a friend here that was a different religion. It was okay for her, she said it was a little weird, but she had fun in the activities, like swimming, rope-climbing, etc. Anyways, it's designed to help current Christians with their faith and help other kids who don't exactly have a religion (I don't really know if that's possible, but whatever) find someone to have faith in. There are morning and night-time activities everyday when we play fun games, watch skits, and sing songs. It's way more fun than I described it. The staff here is AMAZING. They are mostly all college students and some that just graduated. They are always nice and never get extremely mad at you. They are all laid-back, fun people, which is why they got picked to be a counselor here. The housing there is actually a lot better than you would expect it to be. The little kids, I think about 1st grade to 3rd grade, have this area called Kishwauketoe, which is a little set back from everything and is in the woods. The little kids cabins are kind of "rustic" and they have to walk out of their cabin to get to the bathhouse and showers. The older kids, 4th grade to 8th grade, have their cabins all around the camp. Some of the cabins have air conditioning, and they are all nice inside. All of the cabins have bunk-beds, in case you were wondering, and you are allowed to choose from top or bottom. Let me go to the food. It's amazing, we get 3 meals a day, and for dessert after dinner, they have these amazing fruit popsicles. There is no "bug juice". The food isn't disgusting, and there is no "mystery meat". It's really good food, just saying. They also have a little snack shop you can buy food and candy from during free time. Geneva Lake is what makes this camp so good. The water is one of the clearest lakes in Wisconsin. They have water-trampolines, banana boats, and double tubing. They make you take a swim test on the first day, (the camp is only a week) to see if you can swim in the deep end or just the shallow end. read more

Sorry that I have to give them even one star. Awful, simply awful. Four people to a room, two on beds, two on sleeper beds. Unfortunately you can only open one sleeper bed at a time. If you are involved in a retreat there, suggest you make your own sleeping arrangements at one of the nearby hotels. read more

First time experience and it was amazing! My daughter (entering 6th grade in the fall) just attended Pier 30 and had an amazing experience. From a parent perspective I liked the communication leading up to camp, organized check-in, photos and communication while the campers where at camp and easy check-out. From my daughter's perspective it was an incredible experience that allowed her to grow spiritually and build confidence in her own independence. Her favorite memories are of the banana boat, giant swing and carpet ball. They kept the kids very busy! The staff is great, the food was good, and it is on an amazing piece of land on beautiful Lake Geneva. Parent Tip: We packed everything on the provided packing list and she had everything she needed. Next year we'll add a swim cover-up & a drawstring bag for carrying things to the beach. Also, next year I'll do care packages (you can bring to drop off & they deliver them daily). Parents include enough in the daily package to share the little treat or small gift with the whole cabin. I did send one email and my daughter liked that. read more

I went to overnight camp there for the last 5 years. I have never experienced a better camp and I have tried other camps such as timber-lee. The Covenant Harbor staff each and every year is great along with delicious food, and beautiful grounds. They are always working on new things to do and building new buildings that enhance the camp experience. I am not that religious so my first year I was a little skeptical but it was awesome. It actually helped me grow in my faith without feeling like they were trying to stuff it down my throat. This is probably the number one memory from my summers as a kid. Thank you Covenant Harbor! read more

Unlike all the other reviews, this is coming from an actual camper. I've been attending covenant harbor for 5 years now, and will be heading back for my 6th year this summer. I participated in the Pier 30 camp for 4 years, and Alpha (the high school program) last year, and will be returning to Alpha this summer. Covenant harbor is an awesome camp. It's a great escape from the stress of everyday life where you can just go spend time outside with friends and disconnect from technology that consumes much of our daily lives. The staff is awesome, the food is great, and most of the cabins are great for sleeping conditions. We are always following a schedule every single day, doing fun things all the time. I would recommend coming to this camp with friends, but coming alone is great too because you still have the opportunity to meet others. I have made many friends through this camp whom I still spend time with today. read more
