WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
Thank you so much for giving our kids another amazing year at Camp Bethel. The storms during the week never had us concerned, because we trusted how you would handle it. Thank you for keeping them safe. The counselors were fun and friendly and fabulous! We're not sure if it happens in the screening and hiring process or in the training, but we are so impressed with ALL of your counselors! It's a great feeling to see our kids in the care of people worth emulating-smart, fun, patient, talented, ambitious, and most-importantly GOD loving and following! 
Thank You!  Sincerely, 
John and Julia Bouldin
