Outdoor Rock Climbing: Why climb? Because we can! Enjoy an awesome day of excellent outdoor anchored belay climbing along and above the Maury River, led and instructed by the experts from Wild Guyde Adventures. Learn all the moves and gear as we safely jam up the crux of the headwall and rappel back to deck; suitable for beginners and experienced Edgers. Back at camp, we’ll learn high ropes course facilitation: very cool! All gear, helmets, harnesses and leadership provided. Rated moderate with challenging options.

Whitewater Rafting: Your combo-adventure week includes a day of wet, wild & wonderful fun, courtesy of our professional raft guides and the glorious Lower New River Gorge. Learn crucial teamwork and coordination as we paddle “all-forward” through Class IV and V rapids: the “Keeny’s,” the “Railroads” and the “Million Dollar Wave.” It’s an incredibly fun experience; suitable for beginners and soggy-paddlers alike. All gear, helmets, PFDs, paddles and professional leadership included. “Dig in” for adventure and a great day of group fun on the water!  Rated easy-moderate.

Why 3 Prices for Summer Camp?  The Choice is Yours!
Each family is different, so Camp Bethel offers a voluntary fee program.  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 Bethel experience, no matter what amount you choose to pay or contribute.
The Supporter's Fee is what it actually costs Camp Bethel to provide this summer camp experience for one camper, including counselor and lifeguard pay, utilities, insurance, meals, building and grounds maintenance, vehicle upkeep, replacing outdated equipment, accreditation and permits, program supplies and curriculum.  Choosing the Sustainer's Fee (actual cost + $50 gift) gives you the opportunity to help us do more with the mission funding we receive.  You help us stretch our limited campership funds to help more children experience the power of camp.  You help Camp Bethel make needed improvements and foster future growth in all we do.  
Through mission funding dollars, we are able to offer a Subsidized Fee. This reduced (subsidized) rate is 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.

2020 No-Risk Policy for Cancellations, Late Arrivals, Early Departure:  
You can register with confidence. Should you pay for camp, and later decide to keep your child home, or if the schedule changes again, OR if camps are cancelled, YOU HAVE RISK-FREE OPTIONS:
1. Credit 100% of your payments toward another available 2020 program, or
2. Credit 100% of your 2020 payments to 2021 pre-registration, or
3. Donate part or all to help Camp Bethel weather significant financial losses due to March-June group cancellations (and help ensure we're here for you in 2021), or
4. 100% refund. 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 CampBethelOffice@gmail.com 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 the program.    
Safety and health is our highest priority, and our policies and practices ensure safe and high-quality experiences. We are aligning plans and best practices with our many professional camp associations, and we expect upcoming guidance for summer camps from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Virginia Department of Health. We'll post updates at www.CampBethelVirginia.org/COVID19.

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 were 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"
