So what does a week of camp look like?

Camp weeks start on Sunday evening. During drop off campers are sorted into their cabins and then there is a swim test, canteen, a camp-wide game, and then chapel before bedtime. The rest of the week the campers move as cabin groups through their daily schedule. Mornings involve cleaning the cabin, breakfast, cabin devotions, morning chapel, and camp activities. All campers memorize the theme verse for the summer with the help of posters and other visual aids. There is down time after lunch to allow for resting, changing, sunscreen, and then swimming!

Cabins rotate through water activities including the giant blob and the zipline in the afternoon and then there is supervised free time where campers can play before dinner. After dinner everyone participates in the camp-wide big game and then enjoys evening canteen (drink + snack). Evening chapel takes place after canteen and then everyone prepares for bed. On Wednesdays there is a fun waterfront meal and on Thursdays there is a special banquet night and talent show with a final chapel. Fridays are all-day water activities (the “water rodeo”) and then parents come for the Bethel Review— a highlight of the week— and hotdog dinner before heading home.

Summer 2025 Schedule

(New!) Junior Mini Camp (ages 7-11)

2025 Dates: JUne 29-july 2

Cost: $279

Our Junior Mini Camp has all of the fun and excitement of a full week of camp, just compressed into a shorter schedule! Campers still arrive on Sunday evening, but instead of staying until Friday night, they get picked up on Wednesday night. Campers still rotate through camp activities like boating, blob, chapel, swimming, zipline, canteen, games, etc., but in a shorter timeframe. This is a great option for younger or first-time campers who may be nervous about a full week away from home.

Cancellation Policy:

We have been getting questions about refunds due to cancellation. Just like last summer, if we are forced to cancel the summer or the session your child is registered to attend you will receive a full refund. Our hope and our prayers are that this will not be the case, but we want our camper families to know that we will always put you first.
