RESIDENT CAMP PREPARATION                 

Each year the Bethlehem Center sends children to Resident Camps in North Carolina with the help of area churches, board members and surrounding community outside of our service area.  As we do EVERY year we provide the campers with sleeping bags and a duffle bag full of supplies needed for their camp experience.  We are sending a majority of FIRST time campers in 2010, so we are in need of sleeping bags! (note: once a child attends a resident camp through us and receive a sleeping bag, they do not receive a new one in upcoming years.)

We are requesting completed packages be donated, but will take any donations supplied.  Below you will find what is needed in each duffle bag. 

Camper Prep for Camp:

PLEASE place all liquids in a large Ziploc bag for each child!  We are hoping to get “packets” of stuff together to make packing of the bags easier and more efficient! 

Campers start registering in February and we will start taking finished bags on March 1^st and would like to have enough for the campers by April 15th, and we will then hold our Parent Meeting and distribution of supplies soon after that. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Karie Barbieri, Director of Missions and Education at 704-371-7416 or kbarbieri@bethlehemcenter.org.  I look forward to speaking with you!
