Faith, Fun & Friendship.
Two Blocks from the Ocean at Bethany Beach, Deleware
“I felt accepted for who I am here. Camp at Bethany Beach is the best week of my year – I can’t wait to come back!”
Faith, Fun, and Friendship by the Sea. Our summer camps at the Bethany Beach Conference Center invite youth and families to experience the kindness and love of Christ in an open and affirming community. In partnership with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we offer a beachside camp experience where everyone is welcome. Campers will grow in faith, make lifelong friends, and create cherished memories – all while having a blast by the ocean!

Adventure and growth for elementary youth. Junior Camp is a week-long day and overnight camp for children who have completed 3rd through 5th grade. It’s the perfect next step for kids growing more independent and ready for full-on camp fun.

Bring the whole family for a week of faith and fun! Our Family Camp sessions are a beloved tradition at Bethany Beach. Family Camp is open to all ages – children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends – everyone is part of the experience. It’s like a summer vacation with purpose: your family gets to relax and play together by the beach, grow in faith as a family, and connect with other Christian families in a warm, supportive setting. We offer two week-long sessions (choose the one that fits your schedule) with identical programming.
