Covenant Camps & Conference Centers

Space to breathe,
belong, and meet God.

Every summer, thousands of kids, teens, and adults discover something at a Covenant camp they can’t find anywhere else — sacred space, deep community, and an encounter with God.

Who We Are

Sacred space for the whole of life.

The Evangelical Covenant Church has a profound and enduring legacy of camping ministry that spans back to the early 1900s. Our 19 camp, retreat, and conference centers offer sacred spaces, transformative experiences, and diverse programs for people of all ages, enabling them to escape the demands of daily life and attentively listen to the voice of God.

We believe that Covenant camps are among the most effective resources for fostering discipleship, nurturing spiritual growth, and developing future leaders in the faith. They serve as an indispensable and integral aspect of our collective ministry.

What are Covenant camps all about?

Partnerships & Projects

Growing the Ministry Together

The ACCCC collaborates on initiatives that strengthen camps across the denomination and beyond.

Covenant Camp Project

ACCCC member camps have collectively raised just under $1,000,000 through a multi-year partnership with Serve Globally — funding land, facilities, leadership training, and programs at Bible camps across eight of the Covenant's global mission fields. Beyond the dollars, the partnership is building lasting connections between North American camps and overseas sites, raising awareness of other cultures and the work of God around the world.

Unite

The ACCCC partners with Unite — the Covenant's triennial high school gathering — to create follow-up resources for students who made new commitments to Christ and those taking their next step in spiritual formation. Camps and conference centers are always working to help attendees carry their mountaintop experiences home.

NextGen Conference

As a co-sponsor of the annual NextGen Conference, held immediately prior to the Midwinter Conference, the ACCCC is working with Make and Deepen Disciples on components of the event for the equipping of both local church youth workers and those that do youth work in a camp setting.

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
