Covenant Park Bible Camp Announcement
We want to thank you for your faithful prayers and devotion throughout our search process for a new Camp Director at Covenant Park Bible Camp. As a board, we have been in prayer, seeking God’s guidance and direction throughout this process, and we are excited to share that the call has been extended to Steven Osborne, and he has joyfully accepted the position!
Steve was born and raised in South Africa, where he began his pastoral ministry. God later called him to serve in the United States, and for the past 17 years he has ministered at Salem Covenant Church as both Youth Pastor and Lead Pastor. Altogether, Steve has faithfully served in pastoral ministry for 29 years. Beyond his pastoral ministry, he has been deeply connected to Covenant Park—serving on the Camp Board, speaking at various camps, and contributing through the Lake Superior District Ministerial Association, which provides oversight to the camp.
Steve is widely recognized as a visionary leader with exceptional ministry wisdom and leadership skills, and we are excited for him to officially begin in January 2026. To ensure a smooth transition, Kaela Stano will remain on staff through March, providing time for her and Steve to work side by side and pass along the necessary information for a healthy and effective handoff.
Thank you again for your prayers, support, and partnership in ministry. We are filled with gratitude and anticipation for what God has in store for Covenant Park Bible Camp in this next season.
In Christ's Service,
The CPBC Board

Leonard Armstrong - Head Cook
Leonard has continued to bless us with his amazing and abundant cooking since 2013! His biscuits and gravy and wealth of knowledge on pretty much any subject due to his love for reading make him legendary in the camp circle!
Julie Guenard-Bookkeeper
I grew up in Willow River, MN where my childhood memories consist primarily of working in the garden with my Dad and swimming with my Mom, brother and sister.
Though God was always a member of our family, it wasn't until after high school and just prior to graduating from UW-Superior, that my relationship with God truly flourished for the first time as He became more of a priority. I began to see the real me that God had intended, and the joy in living out that purpose whether it be gardening or cooking, reading or simply spending time with loved ones.
Soon afterwards, I met and married my patient and loving husband, Kevin. We moved to the Twin Cities for 11 years, and then, through divine intervention, we moved back to the Twin Ports almost three years ago.
Kevin and I were invited into the Lakeview Covenant congregation through newly-formed friendships, and this is how I came to be a part of the Covenant Park Bible Camp. I am most looking forward to seeing how God will use all of us at camp and in the relationships that are formed. I love to pray for His blessings and guidance in the lives of others and myself and then see how such a tapestry of events unfolds as to reaffirm our faith.
Angela Reimer - Assistant Cook
I love to cook and be hospitable to people. I have 2 grown girls, 2 cats and have been married to my husband 25 years. I am originally from Mt Iron/Virginia area and have recently moved to Cloquet. I enjoy being with family and friends, doing church activities, cooking and baking, and spending time in nature with God.
Tim Hafvenstein - Maintenance Director
Tim joined Covenant Park staff as Maintenance Director in the summer of 2013. He has been involved in Christian camp ministry throughout his life having worked at numerous camps in varying roles.
He also has a teaching degree in Industrial Technology Education. During the school year, when not working at camp, he is a substitute teacher in local school districts within Carlton County.
Tim grew up in a Christian family but didn't receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior until his early teens. He has been involved in various ministries throughout his life.
Tim moved to the Cloquet area in 1996 and lives just down the road from the Big Lake Covenant Church. He and his wife Cindy have been married for 34 years and have three children, two of whom are married. He loves building and fixing things and enjoys working on anything that has a gas engine, especially cars and his 76 Ford F-250.
While not working directly with the campers, Tim sees his role of maintaining the buildings and grounds as crucial to the success of the camp experience. He believes the less the staff has to concern themselves with, the more time and energy they can spend ministering to the spiritual needs of the campers.
Lisi Strom- Registrar
Hey everyone! I’m Lisi and I am so excited to be out a camp again! I have been in quite a few different staff/volunteer positions over the last few years and am so excited to serve in the office! I love reading my Bible on my porch, making iced lattes, going on long walks, watching the sunset, and going ice fishing!
