What can I expect at Lake Geneva STP?

When you arrive at STP you will be joined by other college students from across the Midwest. We live and serve Covenant Harbor Bible Camp in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The camp is on the lake front, but also a short walk in to town for coffee runs and late night fast food. You get the best of both worlds in a scenic camp setting with all the convenience of modern life.

A typical week at STP includes 20 hours of serving the camp through various work projects, two Bible study discussions, three Nav Nights, and in-depth training in how to share the Gospel with others. Throughout the program you can also expect plenty of opportunities for fun: team socials, sports, dance parties, and Sundays off for rest.

What should I pack?

In short, pack like you’re going to summer camp. You will need to pack bedding for a twin size bunk. The weather can be decently cold on the lake front in May, so pack layers! You’ll also want to pack clothes you’re prepared to work in and get dirty, but a few nice outfits - especially something for our celebratory banquet at the end of the program. Your cabin will have attached bathrooms, so pack toiletries and towels. Additionally, don’t forget to bring your Bible, notebook, and pens! A more detailed packing list will be sent to participants in advance of the program.

How do I travel to and from Lake Geneva?

The program fee does not include any travel costs to and from the program. Each participant is responsible for travel arrangements. If you need help getting to and from the program, please talk to your local Navigator staff!

What does the registration fee cover?

The cost of STP is $495. That fee includes your lodging, meals, program materials, and a t-shirt. There are 2-3 meals on your own, but financial assistance is available for those who may need it. You may want to bring additional spending money for coffee runs off-camp, souvenirs from Lake Geneva, and various extras while you’re at the program.

Am I able to take days off to travel away from the program?

Lake Geneva STP is a 21 night program and each day is packed with content and programming. Therefore, missing time away from the program is not preferred. There are some exceptions, but all time away from the program must be requested and approved by the STP Director in advance. Leave requests must be submitted by April 1st, 2025. Every situation is unique, and will be considered as such, but requesting significant time away from the program may be a barrier to your participation. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with more questions and/or your requests.
