Adopt A Cov This Summer!

Alumni, y’all stepped up in a big way last summer with our very first Adopt-A-Cov! So, we’re doing it again—dare we call it a TRADITION?! 

I had the opportunity to deliver a few boxes last summer and see guys’ and gals’ Cov Groups open their care packages filled with encouragement and FUN from alumni who knew exactly what it was like to serve as they were. It was so fun to share stories about you and your time at Camp. Honestly, it was hard to tell who had more fun—you in the giving or them in the receiving! 

It’s pretty simple... Here’s how adopting a Cov works: 

  • We’ll assign you a Cov Group from one of our five Camps. You’ll receive a list of names and the terms they are working so you can be praying for them. 
  • Want to request a specific Camp? Just let us know! 
  • The minimum ask is this: send at least one care package during each half of the summer. Fill it with ruckus, gift cards, or silly surprises, and—most importantly—encouragement in word and scripture. 
  • Want to go the extra mile? Notes throughout the summer are always welcome … snail mail is a BIG deal to get! 

Some new details for this year: 

  • We’re adding Travis Crews, Base Crews, and Leadership Teams to the mix. 
  • You’ll also get a photo of your crew so you can be praying for them all summer long. 

If you want to Adopt-A-Cov, just email alumni@tbarm.org, and we’ll match you with a group for Summer 2025!

Heaven on Earth

“Heaven on earth” - that’s the name by which my mother, a self-professed T Bar M super fan, refers to camp. My wife and I often comment, somewhat in jest but mostly with sincerity, that everything in our lives is a result of camp. We both grew up at camp. Our siblings grew up at […]
