Dining Commons: About the Campaign

Aligned with Covenant Harbor’s master plan and leveraging the camp’s financial stability, the Dining Commons’ budget reflects the careful stewardship of resources that characterizes all of camp’s operations. With thoughtful design and choices that provide for the needs of campers and guests without excess or extravagance, and that honor the camp’s natural surroundings, the Dining Commons will serve Covenant Harbor long into the future.

As of May 15, 2025, Creating Community: The Campaign for Covenant Harbor’s Dining Commons, has raised almost $7 million toward the $8.1 million goal! Thanks to generous lead donors, Covenant Harbor is in a strong position to complete the campaign and break ground in fall of 2026.

Dining Commons Partner Program

Covenant Harbor’s Dining Commons Partner program is a significant opportunity to financially support this once-in-a-lifetime project. The Dining Commons is the centerpiece of Covenant Harbor’s property and Partners’ gifts are vital to ensuring we meet the campaign goal.

Thank you, Dining Commons Partners, for your leadership! Partners’ gifts will be recognized in the Dining Commons on a permanent, commemorative plaque at three levels: 

Gold | $50,000

Silver | $25,000

Bronze | $10,000

Gifts may be made in memory or honor loved ones, as well. What a fitting tribute to the generations who helped create the Lodge and who set Covenant Harbor on its promising pathway into the future!

If you are interested in joining this unique effort as a Dining Commons Partner, please contact Jon Heintzelman at (224) 804-7184 or jheintzelman@covenantharbor.org.
