NO OFFICE HOURS: Use your "Payment and Future Reservations" form in your facility/campsite packet and pay ONLINE or by dropping payment (with a note) into our office metal mailbox before 10:00am Monday, September 5.
As you recall, many of you who had paid facility reservations for the 2020 or 2021 Labor Day Weekend forwarded your deposit to 2022 OR you donated prior payments to camp (thank you). If you donated your reservation, well, THANK YOU, but now you need to pay your new deposit to retain your present use. Don't remember? Then email Barry at CampBethelOffice@gmail.com.
MEALS: Meal reservations are due by 11:00am Tuesday, August 30. If you reserve meals, please be on time (Saturday 10:00am & 5:30pm, Sunday 10:00am, Monday 9:00am). We will serve buffet style, so please wash/sanitize your hands before going through the buffet line. All persons, please get a clean plate each time you visit the buffet, and please only take what you will eat.
Shelter-by-the-Spring is EVERYONE'S KITCHEN: since we are offering fewer meal options, we know you'll have to get creative for your own meals. The Shelter-by-the-Spring will serve as a communal kitchen for everyone who needs space to prepare meals and refrigerate food. We've added a large microwave oven in addition to the 2 stoves, 2 fridges/freezers, plus the gas grill. Other options: Get creative with outdoor campfire cooking! Local favorite restaurants include: 3 Lil' Pigs BBQ; Foot of the Mountain Cafe; Cuban Island; Bellacino's; Lentini's; and Brughs Mill Country Store has excellent breakfast biscuits!
"CAMP BETHEL PEP!" 5K is Saturday, September 3: You're already HERE, so please go ahead and register for the 5K!
If you plan to attend and/or if you want meals, YOU MUST COMPLETE THE REQUIRED ATTENDANCE AND MEALS FORM. (The form is a Google Form; be sure to complete it and click SUBMIT.) Only the buildings you have reserved are available to you. The Ark (and all amenities within) is only available to guests who have reserved meals in advance and only at meal times.
