Note: We desire to make Worship Arts Camp a first-class camp for the glory of God. We are always seeking to bring top level leaders, musicians, guests, and electives to serve your wonderful children. As you might imagine, there are many expenses involved in putting on a camp that has now reached 252 campers (WAC 2023). We needed to raise the cost of WAC due to the growth, budget needs, and inflation. We realize this is a jump in cost. Please know that camp will not have a large increase like this every year. Gradual increases will be made in the future, as needed, based on prices of material and cost to hire people outside Bethel.
**A WAY FOR EVERY CHILD TO COME TO WORSHIP ARTS CAMP**
We want every single child to be able to come to Worship Arts Camp. Inflation has caused us to have to raise our cost for camp and we also understand money is tighter for every family. With this in mind, we are offering multiple ways for every child to come.
- Pay the full amount today.
- Pay the full amount, but in payments
- Pay half of the specified tuition amount for your child(ren) (either in full or in payments as soon as you can)
- Pay as much as you can, as soon as you can
- Pay nothing (Please don’t worry about not paying. We are seeking to be good stewards of the ministry while also fleshing out our big heart for ministry to people.)
New Schedule for Kindergarten: We have observed that staying until 2:00 pm each day is hard for the kindergartners. They have a full morning which tends to leave them overly exhausted as camp continues into the afternoon. This year we will begin a new schedule for them: 9:00-12:00 pm. Note: This is the same schedule as the preschool. We believe this adjustment will care for the little ones and the teachers in a better manner.
Adult Electives: We are excited to bring adult electives to Worship Arts Camp this year. Pastor Keith has wanted to offer something for every generation since the inception of WAC. These electives will be offered in the evenings Monday-Thursday from 6:00-8:00 pm. Adults can pick and choose which elective(s) they want to do on a given night.
Friday Night Camp Presentation: On the evening of August 9th at 6:30pm we will have our end of week presentation. This is always an encouraging time as the campers get to share all they have learned during the week.
Sunday Morning Service: Each year the Sunday after camp the children lead the church in worship along with sharing some of what they learned during the week. We understand that some people leave for a final Summer vacation the Saturday after camp or attend another church. If you are in town and/or willing to miss your home church that Sunday, we would love to have you and your camper be an encouragement to the Bethel Church Family. The service is at 10:30. Call time is 10:00 in the Sanctuary.
Childcare for WAC Staff: We offer childcare for the volunteers of WAC for your children who are to young to participate in camp. You may register your children for childcare when you register as a volunteer.
Solo Auditions: This year we are beginning a new way of auditioning soloists. If your 3rd-8th grader is interested in auditioning for a solo then please let us know. These auditions will be held prior to camp. This will enable the child soloist to begin working on the song with the team straight away when the week starts. Be sure to choose the option to Solo Audition Interest on your child’s registration form if they are interested.
