Senior Day at Cowen is happening July 17, 2020!
We are excited to offer this one-day event to celebrate the recent high school graduates. It will be a great day to discuss the transition to college, work, or the military. Baptist Campus Ministry will conduct the program with some special guests in attendance. There will also be professional photographers present to take “Senior Pictures.” Please think about where you would like a Senior Picture taken at Camp Cowen to add to your collection. You will have a 10-minute session with the photographers. Please register for this event by Monday, July 13. Baptist Campus Ministry is hosting and paying for this event and some staff from High School 1 and High School 2 will also be present. Registration is needed so that we can make plans that meet the guidelines related to COVID recommendations. Please bring a mask and be prepared to follow all state and CDC guidelines. Join us for a great day! In Christ, Rob Ely Director of Student Ministries |

Summer 2020 Schedule Update
The Cowen Board met on June 2nd and, after much guidance and prayer, has agreed to suspend all scheduled children and youth camps at Camp Cowen for this summer.
As a place "where people meet Jesus and grow as his disciples in a community of faith," it brings us great sadness that we will not be able to host the nearly 2000 campers that we have every summer. However, we also want to prioritize the safety of our campers, our counselors, our staff, and the Cowen community. We also want to abide by the recommendations provided to us by the governor and the Center for Disease Control. As time goes on, we will continue to keep you updated on events or opportunities we are able to host that follow current guidelines and are in line with prudent practices.
This means in addition to the May and June camps, High School 1, Junior High 2, High School 2, Raleigh Rockcastle Camp, Family Camp and Older Midler will not be running this summer.
We are thankful to continue to connect with campers, families and churches through Camp-in-a-Box! And we appreciate your support!
If you have any questions regarding the suspension of camp programming, please contact us at jill@wvbc.org

Sunny Day Building Project
The Sunny Day Leadership and Activities Center will house three classrooms and a gymnasium facility. The hope for the new facility is to honor the leaders who have gone ahead of us by continuing the training necessary for church leadership to thrive in the future. With three separate classrooms, leadership training for extra campers will be able to occur simultaneously with camps that are already established during the summer. The gymnasium area will also provide a place for indoor activities to occur when the weather gets rough as well as an area for athletic groups to utilize and potentially be brought face-to face with the Gospel message.
Funds are still being raised and needed for the new facility but the location of the building is ready. As you consider how this new ministry can impact the youth in your church and how it can minister to churches and groups individually, please prayerfully consider how you can be part of the development in ministry at Camp Cowen.
