Lodges, cabins, cottages, shelters, meeting rooms in rustic-modern comfort with a 470 acre back yard, optional Food Services and coffee that's crazyamazingtastic.

Festivals, concerts, Outdoor Education, banquets, weddings, group high-and-low ropes courses, school field trips... It would be easier to list what we DON'T provide.

CAMP DIRECTOR, BARRY LENOIR, TO "RETIRE" JUNE 30, 2023:
The Outdoor Ministries Committee of the Virlina District Board announces that Barry LeNoir will depart his role on June 30, 2023. He began his service on August 19, 2002. Barry writes, “After 38 years of camp staff experience including 21 years at Camp Bethel, I am ready to hand over responsibilities to the next Camp Director. I have loved all of it, our Camp Bethel. I especially treasure the relationships with coworkers, summer staff, campers and families, congregations, committees, volunteers, guest groups, business partners, and peers in camping in Virginia and across the country.”
The Virlina District Board and the Outdoor Ministries Committee established a Search Committee who screened and interviewed candidates. Hannah Jarrett has been called as our new Camp Director. Hannah begins on June 5, and she will overlap with Barry through June 30.
Join us on Friday, June 9, 2023 at 6:30pm for a reception celebrating Barry's 21 years of service at Camp Bethel. This will be a casual pot-luck dinner (please bring a hearty and plentiful dish to share), in the Camp Bethel Gym at 6:30pm. Overnight lodging is available. Contact CampBethelOffice@gmail.com for options and prices. To contribute toward a special "retirement" gift for Barry, send checks payable to: VIRLINA DISTRICT, 3402 PLANTATION ROAD NE, ROANOKE, VA 24012, memo "Barry LeNoir gift."
