Upon receiving your registration, we will send you a confirmation packet (indicating balance due, if any), including a camper gear list, camper and parent information, check-in procedures, policy guides, a Health History Form to complete and return and any adventure waivers.

Photo DVDs of your camp week have raw data of over 500 photos of each camp week for only $15 per DVD. At the end of each week, we gather all our staff cameras and compile all the photos from your week. Use the DVD-ROM in your home computer to view, copy and print your favorites. These DVDs are an important fundraiser for Camp Bethel, providing you with an extraordinary record by which to remember your time at camp. Proceeds from sales of DVDs directly fund food and staffing costs for the summer program, so you are encouraged to improve your camp in this way. DVDs will be mailed to you within 2 weeks of your camp week. 3 ways to order: 1. The “Payment Information” section of the Registration Form; 2. At camp’s Trading Post before check-in OR after pick-up; 3. After camp by sending us a check for $15/DVD and a note with the camper’s name & dates.

Summer 2013 Curriculum:

All Things New:  See What God Is Doing!

From the very beginning, God creates order out of chaos.  With each new day light overcomes darkness, new life emerges, and we find new potential in our own lives.  The Bible provides the good news for us that just as God restored the lives of ancient people, God will renew us today as well.  Our experiences at camp together show us that through Christ, God continues to do a new thing in us, both individually and collectively.  Come and see what God is doing!

 

New Day 1Isaiah 43:19-21:  God wants to do a new thing with me this week. How will I respond?

New Day 2Psalm 104: 24-33; Genesis 1-2:3:  Creation is past, present, and future; and we are part of it!

New Day 3Jeremiah 18:1-6; Isaiah 64:8; Genesis 2:4-7:  God is always working with me. I need to be open to God’s shaping of me like clay in the potter’s hand.

New Day 4Exodus 31:1-13; Luke 10:38-42:  God gave me gifts to be creative. God gives me rest to be re-created.

New Day 5Acts 17:19-34:  God calls me to take my next steps of faith and discipleship. New understanding results in new behavior.

New Day 6 Ephesians 4:1, 15-16, 22–32; Acts 11:26:  I will live more fully for and with God. God will constantly renew me. I can always grow up more and more in Christ.

Camp to Home Philippians 1:3-6:  God isn’t finished with us! God is with us wherever we go.
