December 15th, 2009

Pine Cove started as nothing more than just a dream of four men sitting on a boat in 1964. The first Pine Cove summer camp was in 1968, started by Bill McKenzie. Over 800,000 people have gone through the Pine Cove camps. Pine Cove has six different locations that camps are held at; Towers, Ranch, Timbers, Shores, Woods, and Bluffs.

These summer camps are much more than just a group of kids sitting around a fire and singing and telling ghost’s stories. The camps inspire kids to dig deep into God’s Word. Pine Cove has camps for youth, young kids, adults and families. For kids and youth Pine Cove inspires to kids to focus on God and His will in there life. They will enjoy the adventures and excitement everyday. For family and the adult camps, Pine Cove tries to make an environment to allow a great away from your everyday life. Families will be able to reconnect and build stronger relationships.

Pine Cove is founded on the scripture verse, Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” Pine Cove sends out groups of youth and adults every year to different places around the world to spread the Word of God. These trips are called “One:8 Trips” and last about one to two weeks during the spring and summer breaks. Many more trips are available for summer and year-round staff.

There is always a need for summer staff. They offer positions as musicians, counselors, lifeguards and so much more. Other positions are available through the year, in the kitchen, and serving meals during conferences and retreats, and much more.
