Pine Cove for Kids

We're going back to Pine Cove, October 1st - 3rd, 2010. 

Registration is now open online. Click Here to Register.

We only have 48 spots this year so we will fill up. First come, first serve!

Each fall MBC takes kids to Pine Cove for a weekend retreat filled with great speakers, fun programs, camp activities and real bonding with their friends and ministry leaders. The weekend combines all the fun of camp – hilarious skits, crazy cheers, cool camp games – with intentional programming designed to maximize the time leaders get to invest in their students.  Pine Cove breaks down the conference into elements of fun and spiritual depth that perfectly fit the elementary-age student. The Towers staff chooses experienced speakers who will challenge the students and provide a foundation for the church to build on when the conference is over.  We give leaders the chance to have one-on-one interaction with their students, the chance to live out the Christian life in front of them, and the chance to lead them to Jesus. We hope that these kids get caught up in a passion for Jesus Christ and are stirred to follow Him the rest of their days.
