Head Staff

Boys Head Counselor David Dixon

Hi there! My name is David Dixon and I was born and raised in Fayetteville. With a decade of being a camper and 3 years as a Camp Covenant counselor, I’m more than excited to return as the Boys Head Counselor. I’ve seen the product of good life lessons and skills learned from camp and it is a personal aspiration to share the same with every camper. I enjoy reading, running, being outdoors, drawing, and trying my hardest at every sport. I am currently working to attain a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering from Tuskegee University, and will graduate May 2018. I am looking forward to an amazing summer! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at camp@covenantpres.net.
