Summer Camp

Each year, the Bethlehem Center sends children to Christian resident camps in North Carolina with the help of area churches, board members and the surrounding community. Every year, we provide Bethlehem Center campers with sleeping bags and a duffel bag full of supplies needed for their camp experience. Most of our campers in 2010 are going to camp for the first time, 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, but will take any donations supplied. Below you will find what is needed in each duffel bag.

Camper Prep for Camp:

Duffel Bag (generic, no gender specific)
Sleeping Bag-Plain, No cartoons
Flashlight and batteries
Bar soap
Shampoo
Conditioner
2 hand towels
2 bath towels
2 face cloths
Lotion
Bug repellent
Sun block
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Poncho or light rain coat
Heavy duty comb or brush
Deodorant
Bible (optional, but please let us know if your bag does not have one)
Anything additional is welcomed, but the above are essential

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.

We would like to have all bags in by April 15^th. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Amy Hutchison at 704-371-7404 or
