Camp Bethel in Fincastle, Virginia is the outdoor ministry (camp & event center) of the Virlina District Church of the Brethren. Since 1927, Camp Bethel has been “sacred ground” for thousands of persons who find sanctuary in these 470 beautiful, peaceful acres. Our primary mission is as a Christian Summer Camp, so our day-use, lodging, and bathing facilities are rustic and simple. Your rental and use of these facilities helps raise funding for Summer Camp. Take comfort in simplicity, and bring a spirit of self-sufficiency for your stay.
