Pine Cove exists to be used by God to transform the lives of people for His purposes and His glory. It is a joy, then, when campers share with us just how He is working that out during their time with us. See what some of our campers have had to say. “I have been […]
Texas weather is notoriously unpredictable. So much so that you can experience a snow flurry and a heat wave within a week—or maybe even a day! With the countdown to camp ticking down (double-digits, friends!) and a day or two of temps around 67 Degrees Ferret-Heit (another seriously fun name!), we decided it was time […]
A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no […]
We’ve rounded up some of our full-time staffers’ footwear favorites from hardworking boots to comfy, casual crocs. There were a few repeats (looking at you Madewell and New Balance) but we were pleasantly surprised to see the variety in their responses.

Camaraderie. As we stand shoulder to shoulder with dozens of other staff, dressed in the same opening day shirt and khaki shorts, ready and willing to spend and be spent for the souls of campers, we realize we’ve found what it looks like to have true camaraderie. Where does this type of community come from? For […]
We asked our full-time staff to share with you some of their favorite ways to study God’s Word, and they had lots of great suggestions! From apps and podcasts to printable reading plans and good old-fashioned hard-copy books, there is sure to be something that will grab your attention and help you dig deeper into […]
We could think of no better way to wrap up 2021 and kick off the New Year than with our family campers at the New Year’s Family Weekends across all four of our family camps! From undercover Santas and gingerbread house competitions to silent discos and epic New Year’s Eve countdowns, here are some of […]
