LIST OF CONGREGATIONAL EVENTS
2022 Heritage Day to be replaced by Congregational Events

We are so grateful for many congregations who are taking Special Offerings or holding individual fund-raisers, meals, or food/craft sales in honor of Heritage Day. These events remain an extremely important part of our 2022 budget and financial needs. We completed a broad survey of participation for Heritage Day 2022. Several congregations were willing, and several others were unable to participate here on site. We completely understand and fully support their decision making.

After much discussion, we made the difficult decision to wait until next year (Oct 7, 2023) for a return to an “on-site and in-person” Heritage Day. We know that Heritage Day is fully dependent on willing-and-able congregations providing many work hours to prepare and bring a booth. Many congregations’ ability to do this has changed since our last on-site Heritage Day in 2019, and COVID-19 concerns persist. Staff and the OMC will encourage and recruit returning and “new” congregations to reboot and restart Heritage Day in 2023. We appreciate your ideas, thoughts, and input as we rethink what's possible.

Please consider a Special Offering or Event in honor of Heritage Day. Contact our office to share details, CampBethelOffice@gmail.com, 540-992-2940.

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 where 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"
