We are excited to restart the CIT program in 2022! Info coming soon!
We are very proud of our excellent summer staff of counselors and support staff and their commitment to quality programming at Camp Bethel!  Each staff member is interviewed, screened, and selected by the Camp Director, and we perform a comprehensive background check for each.  Staff are hired on the basis of their work ethic, their Christian character, their ability share their faith and teach all our camp skills, their love of activity and the outdoors, and their commitment to helping children and youth.
 
We train the staff during an intense, comprehensive, fun, two-week Staff Training prior to the first camper week.  Staff Training includes detailed and complete preparations in safety, first aid, emergency procedures, prevention, and all the methods and procedures of our educational goals and camp activities.  All paid staff are certified in CPR and First Aid.  Campers are sure to have a safe and fun week living and learning with their counselors.
 
Are YOU interested in an active, enriching, authentic summer in relational, outdoor ministry to children and youth?  Camp Bethel is seeking the BEST SUMMER CAMP COUNSELORS: caring, tolerant, college-age, service-minded, growing Christians wishing to serve God by leading and mentoring children in outdoor Christian education programming.

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"
