Adult Volunteers:  Men and Women with a Servant’s Heart

“Counseling at camp for one week of my vacation was the most rewarding week of my year. Those who can, should.”

Camp Bethel has a rich tradition of adult volunteers “coming home” for a week during the summer.  Volunteerism is what has made Camp Bethel great over our 83 year history.  Persons 18 and above can give of their time and talents for one or more weeks to serve in various roles in the camping program.  We especially need volunteers to serve as cabin counselors in a family unit, but we also need volunteer helpers on a weekly basis as Chaplains/Bible Study/Worship Leaders, Medical Directors, Crafts Directors, Camp Grandparents, Maintenance Volunteers, Nature Directors, Registration Assistants, and Volunteer Cooks and Kitchen Assistants.  Each adult volunteer counselor is asked to attend a 5:30pm-9:00pm training and free dinner on one of the following dates: June 2; June 6; or June 14.  E-mail Barry LeNoir to sign up for a volunteer week at camp_bethel@yahoo.com or call (540) 992-2940.
