What a unique adventure a week at the island gives to young people. From the moment campers step off the pontoon boat onto our eight water-bound acres, there is no doubt they are somewhere unusual. The island is completely separate from the mainland community and the rest of the world. It is one of the most unique communities for Junior High youth to live in for a week.

What is the Island all about?

Islanders come together on their own 8 acre island on Hagerman Lake for a week long experience to learn more about God and gain an appreciation for the natural environment around them. Without the comforts of home, campers learn that life can be simple and uncomplicated as they go through the week. The island offers lots to do for this 6th through 9th grade age group. Doing team building activities, high ropes challenges, big group island games, the Tarzan swing, zip line and dew swing, preparing meals, doing dishes, and sleeping in tents plus gathering at the camp fire each night for singing and talking all adds up to lots of fun and lots of learning. Time to hang out together, laughing and talking, is also greatly appreciated by islanders. Once you spend a week of the island, you will never forget the experience! Islanders are a very unique group.

"My week on the Island was the best week of my life."

What a unique adventure a week at the island gives to young people. From the moment campers step off the pontoon boat onto our eight water-bound acres, there is no doubt they are somewhere unusual. The island is completely separate from the mainland community and the rest of the world. It is one of the most unique communities for Junior High youth to live in for a week. "My daughter's friend had so much fun that she wanted to stay on the Island all summer."


Campers get to the island on a pontoon boat.	The Mountain Dew swing is a top favorite and promises a great ride with a wet landing.


Islanders have commented on the "family" feeling they experience during their week in this special place.	How many islanders can get on the island raft and still float?

There are glorious natural sights seen from the island.	Campers sleep in platform tents, each having a metal bunkbed and a mattress.

"Can't wait for next years' island experience."	"It was awesome! Don't change anything on the island. I would recommend it to anyone."

"This was a life changing experience. I'm definitely coming back. I love the Island. It's my favorite place in the world."

"The counselors helped us challenge ourselves and I'm totally coming back."	CHALLENGES
	Adventure is key to the Island program. The Island boasts an expansive high and low ropes course, as well as a trust fall, climbing wall and Project Adventure's Vertical Playpen. The Mountain Dew water swing and zip line make swimming on the Island exhilarating. Leave watches, cell phones, and CD players at home because Islanders enjoy camp without those distractions. Platform tents and gas lanterns, water from big jugs, and plenty of time to interact with your old and new friends, make for simple but memorable times on the island. Despite leaving behind all the things we think are needed, each year islanders are excited to be a part of life at this special Covenant Point place. Even those who were concerned they would not like it, come back for more. Just ask one of the seasoned island campers. "I had an excellent experience on the island and will never forget it."

"I'd like to thank everyone at the island for an awesome week. I learned a lot about God's creation and what it means to me personally."
Bible devotions and worship are important elements of the Island experience. Campers hear the gospel, discuss Biblical issues and begin to create their own story of faith. Holding only about twenty-five to thrity campers and six to seven staff each week, the Island is a close-knit community. Trust, encouragement and teamwork help form an amazing atmosphere where God can work in the lives of each camper individually.	"My daughter loves the Island! This is her 4th time on the island. I continue to amazed at what a great job you do with these middle schoolers. Your Island Program is truely blessed. Keep up the good work."

"Wish I could come to the island next year but I'm too old."	"Thank you Covenant Point for the great week at Island Camp."
