River Canoeing: Your week includes 1/2 day of paddling on the beautiful James River, just 8 miles from Camp Bethel. Canoe skills, swimming, lunch on the beach and more with your adventure counselors on a 10-mile river section, perfect for beginners and seasoned paddlers. Rated easy-moderate.
River Tubing: It’s our best way to beat the summer heat! Your week includes a fun and relaxing morning of river tubing on the beautiful and historic James River, just 6 miles from Camp Bethel. Let the river do the work as we ride the gentle current through gorgeous scenery over riffles and mini-rapids while keeping cool splashing, swimming and playing. Get creative with your float style or team up with your counselors and new friends to build an ultimate tube-blob-flotilla! Tubes, PFDs and transport provided by our friends at Twin River Outfitters, with counselor leadership provided by Camp Bethel. Rated easy.
White Water Rafting: Your combo-adventure week includes a day of wet, wild & wonderful fun, courtesy of our professional raft guides and the glorious Lower New River Gorge. Learn crucial teamwork and coordination as we paddle “all-forward” through Class IV and V rapids: the “Keeny’s,” the “Railroads” and the “Million Dollar Wave.” It’s an incredibly fun experience; suitable for beginners and soggy-paddlers alike. All gear, helmets, PFDs, paddles and professional leadership included. “Dig in” for adventure and a great day of group fun on the water! Rated easy-moderate.
2020 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 2020 program, or
2. Credit 100% of your 2020 payments to 2021 pre-registration, or
3. Donate part or all to help Camp Bethel weather significant financial losses due to March-June group cancellations (and help ensure we're here for you in 2021), 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.
Safety and health is our highest priority, and our policies and practices ensure safe and high-quality experiences. We are aligning plans and best practices with our many professional camp associations, and we expect upcoming guidance for summer camps from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Virginia Department of Health. We'll post updates at www.CampBethelVirginia.org/COVID19.
