Camp Bethel Summer 2010

SUMMER2010

matthew 5:16

Dear Parents,

Some of you, well ok, maybe a couple of you may remember the days of great

beach movies with Annette Funicello, Frankie Avalon, and characters such as Gidget,

Moondoggie, Hot Shot, Stinky and of course the Big Kahuna. This will be the back

drop to this summer complete with luau, limbo competition, and more. While we use

this as the backdrop, our theme will be SHINE, taken from Matthew 5:16 that tells us

to “let your light SHINE before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise

your Father in heaven.” That is our goal for this summer to teach young people

to SHINE with the light of Christ's love before others. We look forward to a great

summer with fun activities, and the teaching of God's word that has the power to

change lives. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to call.

Blessings,

lEttER fRoM thE diREctoR

YoUth lEadERS: You must call ahead to reserve the number of beds for your group. For every 12 campers you bring, one chaperone may come free of charge (limit two). If we get your deposit by April 1, each individual registered by then will receive a $25.00 discount. You can add other campers after these dates, but they are not eligible for discounts. All registrations and deposits must be sent in by the youth leader, not by the individuals. These discounts cannot be added to what campers may be receiving through Bible correspondence.


daY tREkDay Trek will be offered each week for the camper not quite ready to spend an entire week away from home. Day Trek will start each day at 8:30 with breakfast and end at 5 in the afternoon. Day Trek campers will enjoy the same program throughout the day as those attending the full week. If your child is not ready for a full week of camp, or you are not ready for him or her to be away from you for a full week, then Day Trek is for you.

JaMboREE WEEk (Age 8-12)Jamboree Weeks are action-packed weeks of fun and excitement providing an opportu-nity for your child to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Campers will learn new skills in selected activities such as archery, bb guns, rock climbing, and rappelling on the climbing wall. Exciting waterfront activi-ties will add to an action-packed week. But most importantly, your child will learn about developing a deeper relationship with God. Through praise and worship, cabin devotions, and personal time in God’s word, we want them to start getting ready to shine!

PaREntS: If your child is not coming with a youth group and you get your deposit to us by March 15, you will get a $25.00 discount. These discounts cannot be added to what your child may be receiving through Bible correspondence courses.

SPEcial offER: If your church or family invites one of our representatives to come share Camp Bethel and as a result five new campers register, then one individual may come half off. This offer is only good until May 1.


JUnioR WEEkS (Age 10-13)Junior week opens the door to fun and excitement with activities designed just for the 10-13 age group! The intermediate ropes course, 40’ climbing tower, Synergy Skateboard Park, paintball, zip lines across the lake, and the blob are some of the activities offered to add excitement and a challenge to the camping experience. Best of all, your child will have an opportunity to prepare to shine through praise and worship, personal quiet times, and devotions lead by cabin leaders.

UltiMatE tEEn WEEk (Age 13-19)This year for your activity selections we will be adding day trips for caving and rock climbing, a woods course for paintball, skate boarding, and a new mountain board course! To top it all off, we will have awesome praise and worship services. Every day

Who WE aRE:Camp Bethel Ministries was founded to reach our youth with the love of Christ. We are concerned about their physical and spiritual well- being and the influences that surround them. Never be-fore has a generation faced so many pressures and temptations. One wrong decision can result in a lifetime of heartache and regret. We are committed to being a positive influence in the lives of all those we touch.

What WE offER:It’s our desire to create a safe place where young people can feel loved and be influenced by positive life-changing teaching from God’s word. Camp Bethel is a place where they can learn to walk in a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and are encouraged to live out their faith each day of their lives.
