Camperships = Financial Assistance: A limited fund for partial or full camperships is available to help families who qualify for reduced school meals in Virginia. See the Needs Calculator Chart below for eligibility, or email the Camp Director to discuss your specific situation.

​Maximum campership per child is up to $240 for a 3-day/2-night camp and up to $390 for a 6-day/5-night camp. If your family needs financial assistance in order for your child to have a camp experience, follow these instructions:

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Parent: Choose your program and dates.  Listed by date at our CAMPS page.  Listed by age-group/category HERE.

2. Parent: Calculate your exact requested amount of assistance. Decide how much you can afford to pay toward the camp fee. We ask families to pay as much as they can so that our Campership Fund can reach more families. Maximum campership per child is up to $240 for a 3-day/2-night camp, $240 for a 5-day Day Camp, and up to $390 for a 6-day/5-night camp. What is the cost of your chosen program? Subtract what you can pay from the Subsidized Fee for your chosen program. The difference is the amount you are requesting in assistance.

3. Parent: Communicate your program, dates, and your exact requested amount of assistance to your pastor, social worker, agency worker, or school guidance counselor.

4. Parent: Have your pastor, social worker, agency worker, or school guidance counselor complete and submit the on-line Campership Financial Assistance Application below, OR have them complete and submit a paper form, (printable PDF is available below). We prefer the on-line form.

5. Parent: Complete the on-line Summer Camp Registration Form. (A printable Summer Camp Registration Form is below.) ​Alternately, use paper forms and mail them to camp together.

Camperships are granted first-come, first-served, only one per camper per summer, and camperships are currently only available through this Campership Financial Assistance Application. Maximum campership per child is up to $230 for a 3-day/2-night camp or 5-day Day Camp, and up to $380 for a 6-day/5-night camp. A response email will inform families of granted campership requests.

Donations to Camp Bethel’s Campership Fund are always needed, and are fully tax-deductible.  For Virlina District Congregations' "Good-As-Gold" program, click HERE.

Needs Calculator Chart: ​Our limited Campership Fund is available to help families who qualify for free-or-reduced school meals in Virginia. You may also email the Camp Director to discuss your specific need. Alternately, most Virlina District Churches will assist families in their community with funding for summer camp or with "Good-as-Gold" for summer camp.

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"
