High School Moonrise Adventure (for rising 10th-12th graders)
Sunday 4:00pm through Friday 6:30pm.
Week #7 = July 24-29 *
Adventure Camp for Nocturnal Teens!
Your 6 days and 5 nights include all the classic fun and activities of regular Resident Camp but with the added FUN of NIGHT ACTIVITIES and living in the Wilson Creek Adventure Village! Bed time is 2:00am, with wake up at 11:00am, breakfast in the Ark at 12:30, lunch at 5:30, worship at 9:00, and group dinner at your Adventure Village at 10:30pm. Night activities include glow-in-the-dark high ropes & zip line, illuminated swimming pool, astronomy, glow games, night hikes, campfires, and in-depth faith explorations, until bedtime at 2:00am.
Adventure Camps are for “tough” campers who are comfortable living out-of-doors and ready for the next level of camp adventure, and Moonrise Adventure Campers base from the Wilson Creek Adventure Village. You will live in a Unit of 6-10 campers with 2-4 counselors in one of our creek-side Adventure Villages located in our vast and beautiful riparian forest. Each A.V. includes a boys’ hut, a girls’ hut and your dining shelter with fire circle and cooking grill, all by the clean waters of Wilson Creek. Our platform huts have metal roofs and open ends for free air flow. You’ll eat most meals at the Ark, swim in the pool, sleep on bunk beds with mattresses and personal screening (or bring your hammock!), attend all-camp events, and have access to all the amenities and bathhouses of the camp. You and your unit will plan your week’s activities including group games, nature, crafts, music and singing, campfires, swimming, low-ropes group challenges, creek-fun, hiking the camp trails, archery, orienteering and geocaching, slack-lining, GaGa Ball & 9-Square, Morning Watch, Bible study, night activities, special all-camp programs, an evening on the climbing wall, and high ropes course, zip line, and Flying Squirrel. Learn more about Why, How, and What we do during Summer Camps including a complete activities list. This is a great week of spiritual development, fun and adventure; exploring your extraordinary faith journey and learning TOGETHER! Be here for an awesome week!

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 experience, no matter what amount you choose to pay or donate. The Supporter's Fee is what it actually costs 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 health supplies. Choosing the Sustainer's Fee (actual cost + $50 gift) helps 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. Apply for financial assistance HERE. If receiving "Good-as-Gold" from a Virlina District church, register HERE.
2022 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 2022 program, or
2. Credit 100% of your 2022 payments to 2023 pre-registration, or
3. Donate part or all to help Camp Bethel adapt how we operate (and help ensure we're here for you in 2023), 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.
