Your 6 days and 5 nights include all the classic fun and activities of regular Resident Camp but with the added FUN of living in the Wilson Creek Adventure Village! Explorer Camps are for “tough” campers who are comfortable living out-of-doors and ready for the next level of camp adventure. You will live in a Unit of 8-10 campers with 2-4 counselors in one of our open-air 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, crafts, songs, Bible lessons, swimming, nature lessons and exploration, creek-play, hiking the camp trails, orienteering, parachute games, slacklining, GaGa Ball, 9-Square & 4-Square, 3 delicious meals, archery, and a day on the climbing wall and high ropes course including the Zip Line and the Flying Squirrel! Tuesday or Wednesday your family unit will have a cookout at your Adventure Village. 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! Subsidized Fee (discounted cost) = $410; Supporters Fee (actual cost) = $460; Sustainers Fee (cost + $50 gift) = $510.

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including counselor pay, utilities, insurance, meals, building and grounds maintenance, vehicle upkeep, replacing outdated equipment, accreditation and permits, program supplies, and health supplies.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.

2024 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 2024 program, or
2. Credit all but $50 of your 2024 payments to 2025 pre-registration, or
3. Donate part or all to help Camp Bethel enhance how we operate, 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 [email protected] 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.
