“Both of my girls have been to Pine Cove three summers in a row. They come home changed for the better with a closer relationship with Jesus. Truly thankful for this camp and its people.” —Amanda, Timbers Camper Parent

“Love this place for my daughter. It’s an amazing place and right when she got in the car she was telling me about her adventures and didn’t even ask for her iPad!” —Gracie, Outback Camper Parent

“Our daughter experienced her first weeklong camp at the Towers, and her time there was nothing short of amazing. The staff is incredible — energetic, kind, supportive, insanely hardworking — and the property is immaculate. The closing ceremonies were so special, as they gave us a taste of the fun and faith the kids experienced all week. Well worth the price of admission!” —Ryan, Towers Camper Parent

“It was my very first time leaving my kids out of my sight for sleep away. I felt so safe and my girls had the best time! Will do it again next year.” —Stephanie, Silverado Camper Parent

“Where do I even start? Drop-off was super easy, counselors were extremely nice. What’s really cool is that they let the children write letters back to the parents which is a really good way of communicating. And my child learned so much from one week. It was gorgeous out there and well kept, clean stalls, clean bathrooms. Totally a five-star review.” —Derryl, Outback Camper Parent

“An amazing experience for my son. This is no regular camp. This camp offers a huge array of things to do, but the fact that it is faith based and that the counselors there are so great with the kids makes for a true life experience.” —Sharon, Ridge Camper Parent

“My daughter and niece had a great week. We loved our counselor Lilly! She was exceptional and truly invested in the girls. The camp was organized and well run. I felt very confident in the Pine Cove leadership. Most of all, my daughter came home wanting to deepen her knowledge and relationship with God. We will be back!” —Bethany, Springs Camper Parent

“Peyton had the best week of summer. She made some of the best childhood memories this year at Pine Cove that began with a trunk, a cabin, and a little adventure. Overnight camp was a summer wish for her. It was an opportunity for her to build confidence, make lifelong friendships, discover new passions, and grow in ways that last long after camp ends. She pushed her limits, worked on strengthening her faith and accepting Christ as her lord and savior.” —Kimberly, Outback Camper Parent

“This was Jackson’s first year at sleep away camp. My momma heart was so anxious. I’ve never been able to not call, text or FaceTime Jackson for a week, so this was a first for both of us. Pine Cove Silverado was absolutely phenomenal in every aspect of the camp, and he immediately told me yes he wants to go back next summer. I love watching him grow. Proud momma!” —Ginger, Silverado Camper Parent

“We picked up Aubrey today from her first week at Pine Cove! She was nervous going because she did not know anyone in her cabin, but she said she made new friends quickly and had a blast! I wish we wouldn’t have waited so long to send her there. Thankful for the memories she made and the opportunity to grow in her faith!” —April, Ridge Camper Parent

“I am so grateful for all the ways God has worked on me through Pine Cove. If camp has taught me anything throughout the years, it’s how important community is, and how great and good our God is. Thank you for gifting me with friends that feel like family that will stick with me through it all.” —Shores Camper

“Sawyer came home with a heart full of joy and a spirit strengthened by God. There is something so special about the way Pine Cove pours into kids, helping them grow in their faith while creating unforgettable memories. He had an incredible week filled with fun adventures, new experiences, and even earned Archer of the Day! We are so thankful for the counselors, staff, and the intentional way they love these kids and point them to Jesus. What a blessing this week has been.” —Casey, Ranch Camper Parent

“I know she missed us too, along with her bed and her shower. But what she gained at camp far outweighed what she missed and that was new friendships, continued bravery to be bold on her own and most importantly, a deeper love for Jesus.” —Noelle, Ranch Camper Parent

“Over the past 10 summers, Pine Cove has been so much more than a camp. It has been a place where lifelong friendships were formed, faith was strengthened, confidence was built, and countless memories were made. We’ve watched her grow from a little girl excited for camp into a beautiful young woman whose love for Jesus and others continues to inspire us. While it’s bittersweet to close this chapter, we’re so grateful for the memories, the growth, and the foundation these summers have given her as she heads into her senior year of high school.” —Kara, Shores Camper Parent

“Looking through his camp photos, it’s obvious this week wasn’t just about the costumes. It was about friendships, incredible counselors, laughter, faith, and memories he’ll carry with him long after summer ends.” —Crystal, Timbers Camper Parent

“BEWARE: Do not send your kiddo to Pine Cove! They will have too much fun meeting new friends, growing in their relationship with Christ, complain of stomach pains from giggling too much, and then ask for us to think about sending her for two weeks next year instead of one.” —Brandie, Timbers Camper Parent

“She had the best week at Pine Cove and WOW, just the excitement and stories of how she experienced Jesus’ love, through her counselor, the new friends she made and so much more! I prayed for months that He would go before her and prepare the perfect cabin, the handpicked friends by Him, so many prayers answered! My baby came home a new creation! Thank you Jesus!” —Tesha, Timbers Camper Parent

“Another amazing week at Pine Cove in the books! The kids had an absolute blast, made new friends, tried new things, and came home with so many fun stories to share! There is something so special about sending your children somewhere they can have the time of their lives while also growing in their faith and learning more about God’s love for them! They are already looking forward to next summer! Thankful for the counselors, staff, and everyone who invested in these kids this week.” —Shannon, Towers Camper Parent

“Olivia kicked off summer break at Pine Cove Towers! What felt like the longest week of my life, was the most fun for my girl. She thrived as we knew she would, and we are so proud.” —Casey, Towers Camper Parent

Survey Responses

“In a world where so many influences compete for our children’s attention, Pine Cove gave Caylie something increasingly rare—a week where she could simply be a kid, surrounded by genuine Christian community, free from the pressures of social media, comparison, and negativity. She came home with more than happy memories. She came home with a renewed excitement about her faith, meaningful friendships, and the confidence to be open about following Jesus. As a parent, hearing her say that she realized she doesn’t need her phone to be happy and that she wants to keep looking for God’s “awe” moments throughout the year was incredibly encouraging. Camp didn’t just give her a fun week—it gave her perspective, peace, and a deeper desire to know Christ. That is a gift our family will always be grateful for.” —Stephanie, Timbers Camper Parent

“When we picked her up, it was obvious how happy she was and how much she enjoyed her time at camp. This was her first time staying away from home, so it meant so much to see her feel comfortable, confident, and fully embrace the experience. A huge part of that is thanks to her counselor for creating such a safe, welcoming, and positive environment. We are so grateful for the care and encouragement she received throughout the week.” —Outback Camper Parent

“Every year, Dexter returns home with incredible stories, lasting friendships, and a stronger faith. This year, he spoke often about his counselor and the genuine connection they formed. His counselor took the time to listen, answer questions about friendships and faith, and model what it means to be a godly, supportive young man. Having positive male role models invest in our son’s life is invaluable, and we are so thankful for the intentional care and mentorship that Pine Cove provides. The impact reaches far beyond camp and continues long after the week is over.” —Ranch Camper Parent

“From the activities and adventures to the friendships and spiritual growth, every aspect of her experience exceeded our expectations. She returned home full of joy, confidence, and memories that she will cherish for years to come. Thank you for the countless hours, energy, and heart that each of you pours into making camp such a meaningful experience for every camper. Your impact reaches far beyond a single week, and we are incredibly grateful for the investment you made in our daughter.” —Michelle, Shores Camper Parent

“Noah’s words leaving camp were, ‘Who knew it could be so fun to worship for a whole hour in a pickle costume?’ He said he experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit and read his Bible every day during FOB time while at camp. We were thrilled at the spiritual growth we saw at camp and still see here at home after camp.” —Silverado Camper Parent

“Throughout the two weeks at camp, the counselor did an excellent job creating a positive, supportive, and encouraging environment. Michaela felt welcomed, cared for, and included, which helped her fully enjoy her camp experience. What stood out most was the counselor’s genuine investment in the campers’ well-being, both emotionally and spiritually. Michaela came home with wonderful memories, stronger friendships, and a deeper connection to her faith. It was clear that her counselor was a positive role model who led with kindness, patience, and enthusiasm. As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing that Michaela was being guided by someone who genuinely cared about her growth and experience. I am very grateful for the impact her counselor had during her time at camp.” —Shores Camper Parent
