Summer 2020 Schedule Update
In an abundance of caution and following the guidelines set forth by the CDC and our state government, we are announcing the suspension of all scheduled onsite programs and events at Cowen for May and June.
Since 1943 the West Virginia Baptist Camp at Cowen has been a place where campers, families and church groups come to know Jesus and grow as His disciples. We know how much camp means to you and you are important to us!
Over the next month we will continue to listen to our state officials, medical professionals, and camping experts to determine the ability to open camp in some capacity in July and August. The Cowen Board will meet again in early June to make these decisions. Right now, we don't know specifics on what that modified plan will look like but we will keep you updated.
For those who have already paid for camp sessions, a refund of your full payment will be processed to you or your church.
While nothing can replace being here at camp, we are excited to share a way to bring a little piece of camp and the camp community to you: Camp-in-a-Box! Subscribing to this camp package will bring connection, community, memorabilia, and interaction including online Cowen activities. Stay tuned for information coming soon on how to sign up for your Camp-in-a-Box and how to share one with a friend!
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.
