The Staff - The folks that work at Pine Cove are amazing. They serve your family whole heartedly with unending energy. Their attention to detail is impeccable and they really have thought of everything. They do everything in their power to make sure you have the best week of your year!
True Relaxation - You can relax on a normal vacation. But you still have to decide when and where to eat, what you're going to do, where you're going to shop, what will keep you entertained, etc... When you show up to Pine Cove, everything is taken care of. You can literally turn your mind off and let the staff take care of everything!
Your next 17 delicious and healthy meals will be planned, prepared, served, and cleaned up. Infant or toddler crying at the table? A trained staff member will swoop in like a hawk and joyfully take them and play with them outside (still within your view thanks to the floor to ceiling windows). You can continue your table conversation with your spouse and other families. You won't need to think of or plan things to do or places to go either as their are plenty of activities available. Speaking of activities...
Activities - During our week at Pine Cove, Katy and I had a picnic dinner, rode Jet Skis and horses, went canoeing and paddle boarding, climbed the climbing wall and rode the zip line down, took walks through the beautiful woods, watched the sunset over the lake, swam in the pool, played a human version of clue and the craziest team games that you've never heard of such as Turkish Delight and Spikeball. We did all of this (at no additional charge) and we didn't even do half of what there is to offer!
In addition to what I already mentioned, where else can you go skeet shooting, mountain biking, water skiing, wake-boarding, banana boating, paint-balling, golfing, trail running, basketballing, or book reading, all in the same location? No where! There is something for everyone in your family individually and for every family as a whole.
Couple/Family Balance - This is something that very few vacations offer as you are either with your family 24/7 or you and your spouse go on a getaway completely away from kids. Pine Cove is the perfect balance of both. About half of your time is spent together as a family and the other half of the time your kids will be with their camp counselors. They will be poured into by some of the best college students from all over the country. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to hear from some of the leading speakers in marriage, parenting, and biblical truth to strengthen the foundation of your family. You can also get away and do some of the previously mentioned activities or just sit and talk in nature or in the camp coffee shop.
Renewal - There is something refreshing about being at Pine Cove. It could be the Christian atmosphere, the top notch staff members, the daily praise and worship, the speaker sessions, the lack of cell phone service, the beautiful scenery, or the incredible and constant service with a smile. It could be the combination of all those things for 6 days in a row. Whatever it is, we always leave Pine Cove feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, renewed and challenged to go back home and live a better life.
Pine Cove really is the best week out of our year. Don't let the word camp fool you. You won't be sleeping in tents or eating canned beans around a camp fire. Your family stays in a private, air conditioned room with beds and indoor plumbing. Meals are spectacular and activities are in abundance.
Prices are different for everyone depending on the ages of your kids, how many kids you have, which camp you attend and which cabin you stay in. I've added it up and I can tell you that for us, the cost is comparable to the price of 6 nights in a hotel, 17 meals for everyone in your family, plus the cost of activities, entertainment, gas, and transportation. All things considered, you get way more than what you pay for.
