HELLO, SUMMER! Camp Covenant 2021 “Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)
Covenant exists to equip students with the tools necessary to pursue a lifetime of learning so
that they may discern, reason, and defend the truth in service to our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is our
joy as educators to continue to foster learning even after conventional school has taken a break
for the summer. Because of this commitment to pursuing a lifetime of learning, we offer Camp
Covenant. Please take a moment to look at the classes we have available this summer and
share them with your friends and family. We have some new classes this year, as well as some
returning favorites! Classes fill up quickly so sign up early to reserve your spot for our summer

assigned Scarlet Letter essay, and also walking through the annotation tasks using examples
from the texts.

Even though Covenant seniors have been preparing for their Senior Theses for years, when the
time comes to actually do the work, the Senior Thesis can be intimidating and overwhelming.
While Covenant students have more than enough training to complete the research portion of
the Senior Thesis on their own, this camp is designed to assist with that first step. Seniors – if
you feel like you need a set time to complete your research with guidance and advice from Mr.
Golden, this camp is for you. Mr. Golden will provide instruction on a general level in terms of
sound scholarly research (including proper use of JSTOR) and will also provide individualized
instruction based on your topic and direction. You will need to bring your research sources and
your laptops every day. Zoom attendance available.
