Need something more accomodating?

If you wish or need to have more than "just a cabin in the wilderness" we have a solution; there are other cabins available to rent during the April 17-19th time period. When I spoke with the administration there, they advised me that everything is open to rent (obviously except the cabins we have reserved).

The cabins with more ammenities will cost you more, and for now you will have to book them as a group (Guy or Girl not Guy and Girl just had to state this), as well as pay the $20 registration fee that helps pay for food and facility fees. 

What does $40 get you?

2 Night stay

2 to 3 Meals with light snacks and beverages 

               * Sat morning breakfast

               * Sat night dinner

               * Sunday morning breakfast (based on attendees)

               * Light snacks will be provided; but bring your own stuff if you have refined palates or much hunger

A series of lessons

A break from the world

An escape for your soul

A time of reflection

FUN

Payment Available

We are now able to take payments:

The only option to pay is via PayPal, if you are not computer savvy; please feel to enlist your brother or sister to help you pay. We are using PayPal to track how many people and if we need more cabins. This is a first come first serve basis. Please do register as soon as possible; we most likely will be able to get more than 60 rooms if we request them ahead of time.

Also please go to camp Bethel's website and see the cabins that we have booked. They are: Daleville, Friendship Haven, Pleasant View for the sisters and Wilorow and Whispering Pines for the brothers. The brothers will stay in the more rustic cabins out of courtesy of our sisters.

We have reservations

We have put in a contract to get 60 indoor rooms at this camp, with a room to hold 110 people for lessons and service. Let there be no mistake, these are not Hilton style, they are still very rugged beds, so bring the linen you want to sleep with.

Updated the list of included churches: North Carolina is now on the list!
