Living Hope

Life can feel uncertain, exhausting, and full of questions, but as followers of Jesus, we have a hope that cannot be shaken. In 1 Peter 1:1–8, we’re reminded of the living hope we have through the resurrection of Jesus Christ: a hope that endures trials, looks beyond our present circumstances, and gives us reason to rejoice even when life is difficult. This October, join us at Covenant Park Bible Camp for our Young Adult Retreat as we step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life, reconnect with God, and encourage one another in the hope we have in Christ. Come ready to rest, worship, grow, and be reminded that our hope is alive, and Jesus is worth holding onto.

What to Expect

This weekend is designed to help you slow down, connect with others, and make space to encounter God. While there will be plenty of time to enjoy the lakefront, sauna, board games, good food, and the beauty of camp, our focus is on relationships and spiritual renewal. Throughout the weekend, we’ll create intentional spaces for prayer, Scripture, worship, Lectio Divina, and meaningful group conversations. Come ready to step away from the busyness of everyday life, build genuine relationships, and make room to listen for what God may be doing in your life.

  • Here at Covenant Park we have quite a few options for lodging. If you’re single, you’ll be put in a cabin with others of the same gender and if you’re married, we do have a few options available. Although, if we have enough people sign up, we might even split up married couples to maximize space here at the camp. But if you’re married with kids, we’ll keep ya’ll together of course. But we recommend getting a babysitter if possible for you to maximize your capacity during the weekend to encounter others and God.
