What Covenant Point Bible Camp does

Covenant Point Bible Camp is a nonprofit Christian camp ministry founded in 1926 in Iron River, Michigan, in the state's Upper Peninsula. The camp is owned and operated by the Central Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) and operates approximately 65 acres with 3,000 feet of Hagerman Lake waterfront and an 8.5-acre island, accommodating up to 210 residential guests. It serves families, youth, and church groups primarily drawn from ECC congregations in Upper Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri, and is governed alongside its sister camp, Covenant Harbor Bible Camp, under the Harbor Point Ministries board.

The camp's product portfolio spans Mainland Camps (week-long residential programs for grades 2-12 priced at $545-$565 per camper), Island Camps (rustic small-group experiences for grades 6-8 at $555), Trip Camps (backpacking and canoeing on Pictured Rocks and the Flambeau River for grades 9-12 and adults), Family Camps ($505 adult / $415 ages 9-17 / $315 ages 3-8 with a $1,000 family minimum), and a specialized ASD Family Camp at a flat $250 per family.

The facility is American Camp Association accredited and licensed as a camp and child care facility by the state of Michigan, operating with a 4-to-1 camper-to-staff ratio.

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer registration via the CampBrain online platform, year-round group retreat and lodge rentals, donations (one-time and recurring), estate planning partnerships with Covenant Trust Company, a Camper Scholarship Fund, and community fundraising events including the 2026 Centennial Celebration, Triathlon Fundraiser, and Dusty Golf Scramble. Go-to-market relies on the ECC church referral network, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, email newsletters, and the cpbc.com website; financial statements are not publicly disclosed. The leadership team consists of Executive Director Erik Strom, Program Manager Dustin Johnson, Operations Manager Kevin Johnson, Head Cook Teri Sherwood, and Office Manager Courtney Strom.
