About Us
Who We Are
Pine Cove is a Gospel-centered Christian camp with locations in Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia. Founded in 1967, Pine Cove serves more than 45,000 campers each summer and strives to be Christ-centered, others-focused, and seriously fun!
In 1967, Bill McKenzie faithfully followed God’s direction and started a camp called Pine Cove. Now, decades later, the Lord has grown Pine Cove to 12 different physical camps in three regions. To date, more than one million people have experienced the ministry of Pine Cove.
“I didn’t have any special ability to start a camp—only my availability. I didn’t know any better than to believe God.”
Bill “Red Baron” McKenzie
Pine Cove Founder
Pine Cove is steadfastly led by a board of directors and a leadership team made up of faithful men and women who humbly submit to the Lord’s will.
Pine Cove exists to be used by God to transform the lives of people for His purposes and His glory.
Ask someone about Pine Cove and they might tell you about the hilarious skits. Someone else might mention Bible studies, or maybe how the counselors are constantly serving campers. All of those aspects of camp are integral to Pine Cove, and here’s why: everything Pine Cove does grows out of our desire to be Christ-centered, others-focused, and seriously fun.
