Camp Bethel Ministries

Camp Bethel Ministries Camp Bethel Ministries is a Christian camp and retreat center in the Appalachian Mountains in southwest Virginia. We would love to meet you!
(206)

We provide programming and beautiful facilities for youth, families, and ministry groups: to know Christ and to make Him known. Camp Bethel Ministries is a year round operating camp! In the summer months we host retreat groups as well as offer summer camp programs for youth, young adults and families. We also make our facilities available to rent if a church or youth group wants to host their own

retreat. The mission of Camp Bethel is to know Christ and to make Him known in keeping with the Great Commission, and we do this through ministry avenues such as summer camp program, year-round retreats, day-programs, campground and RV rentals, paintball, and much more. If you and your family or small group just need some time away in a lovely Christian environment where God's glory is evident in the nature setting, we have several beautiful lodging facilities that are available to rent. We are dedicated to building relationships with a gospel-driven heart. If you would like more information about us, or want to come and visit, give us a call at the office!

Lake Days | June 1–4

Day Camp | June 8–12
A week full of adventure, games, friendships, and opportunities for kids to grow in faith and confidence.

WE NEED DAY CAMP HELPERS!!
Day Camp is one of our favorite weeks of the summer, but we can’t do it without amazing volunteers. Whether you can help for a day or the entire week, your time can make a lasting impact on a child’s life. No special skills required—just a willing heart and a desire to serve. If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved at Camp Bethel, this is a great opportunity!

Message us or contact the camp office if you’d like to help.

There’s always something special about summer at Camp Bethel. Long lake days, community, laughter, and memories are being made everywhere you look! As we continue to grow and invest in this place, one of the words guiding the vision is “reimagine.“
Dream with us about what this space can become, and how it can serve even better for years to come. We can’t wait to spend summer with everyone again so soon!!

From Day Camp adventures to Community Lake Days spent soaking up sunshine and making memories, we’re excited for all that’s ahead. As we continue the work of restoring and redeeming this place for His glory, we pray every child, family, and friend who comes through Camp Bethel experiences the love of Jesus here.

“The Georgia Group,” as we fondly call this crew, is HERE! This multi-church mission team has been invaluable in helping us prep for the seasons each year. Each day they cook, clean, build + repair, then enjoy devos and games by the fire in the evening.
They bring joy, tireless energy, and mad skills, and they encourage our hearts. AND they’ve told us their serving together has brought them closer to each other and to the Lord.
Thank you, crew, for your excellence and generosity, and for the incredible blessing you are!
