Winter Fest
New name, new season, same great program
February 27-March 1, 2009
What is Winter Fest?
Winter Fest is a retreat for 4th, 5th and 6th graders. The weekend includes the best of Harbor's actvities, Biblical-based teaching and cutting edge programming. Winter Fest is designed both for Church groups and kids coming on their own.
Why the move?
We've moved Fall Fest to Winter Fest in order to provide you with better programming and to allow you to get to know your youth during the fall. Our brand new activity center will provide lots of activity space regardless of weather conditions!
Registration
There are two ways to register for Winterfest:
1) Come with a group - Your church or school group provides counselors and coordinates registration. This is a great way to bond as a team and build relationships within your group.
2) Come on your own - Just like summer camp! Register directly with Covenant Harbor and be assigned a cabin group and counselor upon arrival. This is a great way to meet new friends and connect with some of your favorite summer staff.
Group and Individual Forms are available on the sidebar.
Registration Instructions and Policies
For individuals coming without a group, a $30 non-refundable deposit is due upon registration. Full payment is due by January 27th. Retreats fill on a first come, first served basis.
For Group Registration Instructions and Policies, please read here.
What to Bring
The winter weather provides lots of opportunities for outdoor activities. Please be prepared for the weather. All winter housing units are heated and linens are not provided. Students may want to bring $10-$30 for snacks and Harbor merchandise at the camp store. Please leave personal electronic equipment (i.e. cell phones, ipods, gameboys, etc.), knives/weapons, and fireworks at home.
Here's a suggested packing list:
sleeping bag

towel
flashlight
Bible
toiletries
warm outdoor clothes (hat, gloves, jacket)- we will be outside a lot!
