Bethelwoods Camp offers a Christ-centered camping experience for kids of all ages. Staffis trained to help campers understand God’s message of love and grace and to provide positive Chris-tian role models. All children and youth are encouraged to participate in Bethelwoods summer pro-grams. If you have any questions about special situations, please call Jacquie Scoates 803-366-3722.At Bethelwoods we have three priorities. These are: keeping all children safe, teaching all aboutChrist and having fun in all we do. In order to accomplish this, all staff go though two weeks of inten-sive training on all aspects of our camp programs. All staff are background checked and all counseling

Worship is a fun and creative experience. Each day campers participate in morning watch, biblestudy, and evening worship with lively songs, skits and messages presented by some of the best wor-ship leaders the Carolinas have to offer.
