Introducing: Kelsey Zimmerman (Camp name TBD)

by Cheeks

Kelsey is new to Bethany Birches but NOT new to being at a camp! Read on to find out more:

I am so excited for camp to begin this summer! My name is Kelsey and I live in town called New Holland in Lancaster County, PA. I am a junior at Eastern University and am studying Early Childhood Education. I have never been to Bethany Birches before this summer, but I went to a similar camp near my home many times over the years. Camp has always been a wonderful experience for me and I am sure that this year at Bethany Birches will be just as great! I am very excited to get to know my fellow staff members and all of the campers that I will have the privilege of meeting this summer. I am still friends with many people that I have met at camp years ago and am looking forward to building new friendships like these. Some of my favorite memories have been made at camp and I know that many more will be made this summer. I can’t wait to begin all of the swimming, hiking, games and other fun adventures that this summer will be filled with! I am also very excited to have the opportunity to learn and grow in my relationship with the Lord alongside everyone at camp. Camp is always a great place to see the amazing ways that God is working in your life and discover new ways to get to know him.Being a camp counselor is something that I have always wanted to do since I was a young child and I feel very blessed to have the chance to do so this summer! I hope you will be able to join me and the rest of the Bethany Birches staff this summer!

See you soon!

Introducing Amelia DiSabito (camp name TBD)

by Cheeks

After hearing from some of the returning counselors earlier this spring, I thought it’d be fun to introduce a few of the first time staff members joining us this summer:

Amelia DiSabito is originally from Vermont but currently attends college in Florida. She found out about BBC through her brother James and friend Daniel “Dapper Dan” Appelt. Read on for more about Amelia and what she’s looking forward to this summer:

Hey everyone!

Because this is my first summer at BBC  I don’t have tons of tales to tell about camp, except for the wild stories my younger brother (James) shared after he got home from one crazy week at BBC.  I can’t wait to let the games begin and see all the campers having a blast! I grew up on tag, capture the flag and kickball. I love to kayak, rock climb, walk around in the woods, and eat Spaghettios! After being away at school for the year I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to come home to the most beautiful place ever, Vermont! To spend a whole summer praising God for His wonderful creation is such a blessing. On top of that, I look forward to learning to serve those around me better and to love others with the same love that God has for us.  Hope to see you this summer!

Come meet Amelia this summer!

Welcome Amelia!

$60 discount on summer 2012

by Tuna

We put together a discount today as a bit of an incentive for those campers that are not yet signed up for summer 2012.  If you’re signed up already, just be glad you have a spot because some weeks are already full (and keep reading for your opportunity)!

What we’re offering is simple:

$60 off either Pioneer or Discoverer sessions if you’re not currently signed up and do sign up and deposit by June 15.  Why discounts on these sessions?  They’re not full yet!  You can get this discount when you register by using one of these two codes

  • Pioneer60
  • Discoverer60

For those of you that are reading this and are already signed up for one of these two sessions and are sad to not get the discount, here’s what we can offer you – a $30 discount if you invite a non-registered friend to join you at one of these two sessions.  We’ll also give them a $30 discount.  Of course, they can’t already be signed up and they must register and deposit by June 15.  Tell your friend to use this code: POD30.  You can get your $30 off by commenting on this post or send an email to camp @ bethanybirches.org and let us know your friends name, your camper’s name and use the same code.  If they sign up by June 15, we’ll add the discount to your camper account.

Can’t wait to see you this summer!
