REGISTER NOW

                                       2026 Policy for Cancellations, Late Arrivals, Early Departure 

Should you pay for camp, and later decide to keep your child home, YOU HAVE OPTIONS:
1. Credit your payments toward another available 2026 program, or
2. Credit all but $50 of your 2026 payments to 2027 pre-registration, or
3. Donate part or all to help Camp Bethel enhance how we operate, or
4. Refund all your payments minus your $50 deposit. We just need to hear from you at least 24 hours prior to the start of your camp, and sooner if possible. Please notify the camp office 540-992-2940 or [email protected] ASAP if your camper will not attend this session.      
Late arrival and early departure is discouraged, but allowed if needed. However, because staff, food, and supplies are already secured, we cannot provide pro-rated refunds for partial camp attendance once your camper has arrived unless Camp Bethel cancels your child's program. If programs are cancelled, you will be notified ASAP of your options, including full refunds.​​​

Why 3 Prices for Summer Camp?  The Choice is Yours!

​You know your family's finances better than we do, so choose the fee most suitable for your family. All campers receive the EXACT SAME QUALITY camp experience, no matter what amount you choose to pay or donate.

Supporter's Fee: 
 the actual cost of camp plus a $50 gift! This helps us do more with the mission funding we receive. You help Camp Bethel make needed improvements and foster future growth in all we do.

Sustainer's Fee: 
​what it actually costs to provide this summer camp experience for one camper, including counselor pay, utilities, insurance, meals, building and grounds maintenance, vehicle upkeep, replacing outdated equipment, permits, program supplies, and health supplies.​

​Subsidized Fee: a lesser fee made possible by our District congregations, multiple annual fund-raising events, and gifts from individuals who value the impact the summer camp experience at Camp Bethel has on children, youth, and families.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
"Our son and daughter have been coming to Camp Bethel since they were 5 years old--they are now 13 and 14 years old. We have found that your camp is one of the few that our kids continue to enjoy even as they are older. Other camps (sometimes a lot more expensive) are nice but for some reason the magic of Camp Bethel remains. We also really respect the way that your camp incorporates God and Bible study but in such a way that it is still cool--a rarity these days to find a place where kids can be kids and learn to love God and care for one another in God's creation. Thanks so much for the awesome experience for our kids and the ongoing magic that is Camp Bethel. Thanks, Gina and Chris Engel"
