Year-Round Staff

  • Hi, I’m Krissy, the Office Manager and Registrar at Covenant Park! Camp has been a meaningful part of my family’s life for many years—my husband grew up attending, and after coming to Family Camp, I quickly fell in love with the community and ministry here.

    I’m a mom of four wonderful kids who have all grown up attending and serving at camp. I spent 20 years as a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling my children, and have also served for six years on the Nursery Staff at Salem Covenant Church. After volunteering as a summer counselor, I’m excited to now serve Covenant Park in this new role and see all that God has in store.

  • 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.

  • I grew up near Proctor, MN, and am happily married to Jasmine. We have two energetic and hilarious children. Jasmine and I both hold Bachelor’s degrees in Biblical Studies. While in college, I served as a youth pastor for two years and as an assistant programs director at a Bible camp. After graduating, I worked as a video editor for a children’s ministry in Chicago, developing weekend curriculum that reached audiences worldwide. Jasmine has been called to ministry since she was 10, volunteering as a camp counselor and ministering to teens throughout college.

    Wanting to be closer to family and start our own, we moved to the Duluth area and found our church home at Salem Covenant Church, where I served as Media Director, Custodian, and Young Adult Director.

    In 2025, we felt called to Covenant Park Bible Camp. Camp ministry profoundly impacted me as a youth, shaping my walk with God and inspiring my call to full-time ministry. I’m excited to share that same transformative experience with others.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Leonard retired at the end of the 2026 camp season.

    Thank you Leonard!
