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. The Supporter's Fee is 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including counselor pay, utilities, insurance, meals, building and grounds maintenance, vehicle upkeep, replacing outdated equipment, accreditation and permits, program supplies, and health supplies.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 Camp Bethel make needed improvements and foster future growth in all we do. The reduced Subsidized Fee 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.

2023 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 2023 program, or
2. Credit all but $50 of your 2023 payments to 2024 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 2024), 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 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 your child's program. If programs are cancelled, you will be notified ASAP of your options, including full refunds.
