COVENANT BAY BIBLE CAMP SOCIETY

The Covenant Bay Bible Camp Society is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting a growing relationship with Jesus Christ by providing opportunities for worship, fellowship, and instruction in discipleship. The Society operates the Covenant Bay Bible Camp, a summer camp and retreat center located on Pigeon Lake, Alberta, approximately 45 minutes southwest of Edmonton.

Purpose and Mission

The core purpose of Covenant Bay Bible Camp (CBBC) is to foster spiritual growth and discipleship in individuals of all ages. It achieves this by offering a range of Christian-based programs including overnight camps, day camps, family camps, youth and adult retreats, and wilderness adventure camps. The organization seeks to create an environment where participants can engage in worship, build Christian fellowship, and receive instruction in their faith.

History

CBBC has a long-standing history, having served as a ministry at Pigeon Lake since 1928. Over the decades, the camp has experienced fluctuating periods of challenge and prosperity. The organization honors its heritage and the many devoted individuals who have contributed to its success. Significant milestones include the publication of the first history book "Inspiration Echoes," detailing the camp’s early years, and a subsequent history book titled "He has done great things," published in 2014 to commemorate 85 years of ministry. These histories celebrate Covenant Bay’s enduring impact and the faithfulness of its community.

Facilities and Programs

The camp occupies 17 acres of property and has accommodations for up to 132 individuals. Its facilities and programs are deliberately modest in size to maintain a close-knit community atmosphere. CBBC offers diverse programming tailored to families, men and women, young adults, and children, ensuring inclusion of individuals who fit the specified age and gender criteria. As a Christian organization affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada, Covenant Bay maintains a faith-based environment open to all qualified participants.
