WELCOME TO BETHEL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
SUMMER PROGRAM
Welcome to Bethel Christian Academy's Summer Quest. Summer Quest
offers numerous outdoor activities, sports, enrichment programs,
and spiritual development at a very reasonable rate. Field trips,
weekly lunches, surprise activities, and daily devotions make Summer
Quest unique. There is something for every child!
Every day at Summer Quest will be different from the day before.
Our programs foster learning through hands-on activities, physical
exercise, and new challenges.
Summer Quest is staffed with many current teachers and employees
from Bethel Christian Academy. Many campers already know our staff
members and feel at home from day one. Staff members love working
with the children and are determined to make a positive influence
in their lives. We offer a high level of commitment, care, and love
for your child and we do this in a Christian environment.
Your child's enjoyment and safety is our top priority. You can
feel confident and comfortable when you send your child to Summer
Quest. Our programs are well developed with fun and safety in mind.
Your child will be surrounded by trained professional employees.
Summer Quest, its staff and members, would love the opportunity
to connect with you and your child this summer. Give us a chance
to be a part of your child's social, emotional, and spiritual development.

Field Trips
Field trips (a.k.a. Excursions) help expose campers to new experiences
and serve as a learning tool. There will be at least four field
trips during Summer Quest. Specific information on each field trip
will be sent home separately. Written parental permission is required
for a camper to go on a field trip. We encourage your child to participate
in field trips. Bethel Christian Academy's Summer Quest has procedures
for caring for campers with medical needs on field trips.
Professional Staff
Bethel Christian Academy's Summer Quest is staffed with a director,
counselors, and camp assistants. Many of the camp staff members
are full- time teachers and Extended Care workers for Bethel Christian
Academy. A criminal background check has been completed on all staff,
and staff members have completed pre-camp training.

A low camper-to-staff ratio is maintained for all group camp activities.
The low ratio of camper to staff provides campers with continuous
supervision and the opportunity to receive individualized and specialized
