Mainland cabin life — size and facilities
Mainland campers sleep in carpeted cabin spaces with bathroom and shower facilities. Average cabin size is 9 campers, and average attendance runs 80–120 campers per week, resulting in a 4-to-1 camper-to-staff ratio.
Setting — Upper Peninsula wilderness adjacent to Ottawa National Forest
Located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula just three miles north of the Wisconsin border, Covenant Point is 140 miles northwest of Green Bay, and 340 miles north of Chicago. Adjacent to thousands of acres of Ottawa National Forest, Covenant Point is close enough to make a weekend trip worthwhile, and far enough to be a truly set-apart wilderness experience. The mainland area is a thirteen acre peninsula on beautiful Hagerman Lake — a spring-fed, 585 acre lake that we enjoy year-round.
Senior High (grades 9–12) — deepening faith and leadership
God calls and equips each of us to participate in God's mission in the world. Campers experience small-group seminars, one-on-one conversations with counselors, and opportunities to learn spiritual disciplines. Our staff is ready to encourage campers in their walk with Christ, share how they have grown as disciples, and help campers navigate tough questions in a safe, caring and healthy environment.
Mainland waterfront activities — breadth of options on Hagerman Lake
Waterfront activities include sailing, swimming, playing on the raft, climbing and playing on the "Summit," snorkeling, water basketball, tubing, banana-boating, and more! The Mainland is located on roughly 65 acres of land, and 3000 feet of Hagerman Lake waterfront property.
Trips Program — wilderness canoe and backpacking with trained guides
Covenant Point's Trips Program offers opportunities for campers to encounter God's complex natural creation. Having the lakes and woods of the U.P. and Northern Wisconsin at our doorstep allows us to hike and canoe in beautiful places. Smaller size groups averaging 12 trippers or less makes the program an excellent way for you to form deeper friendships with peers. Our Trips guides are certified in Wilderness First Aid, Lifeguarding, CPR, and Leave No Trace Ethics — all to provide a safe, exciting adventure for our trippers.
