Calendar: This fundraiser will allow friends and family to donate amounts on a calendar. The entire calendar's collections, if completely filled out, will raise the entire cost of camp for one student. Calendars are due back with money, May 11th.
Casserole Sales: Bethany Students will host a casserole presale. Each casserole sold, the profits from them, will go directly to the student that sold the casseroles. Forms and money are due back to Kristi by Feb. 12th. The casseroles will be assembled Feb. 22 and ready for pick up on Feb. 23rd, after services in the kitchen in the FLC. Please pick up and deliver.
March: Gun Raffle. Tickets will be sold and go directly to the kids balance that sells them. Tickets will be sold until date TBD.
Breakfasts: There are a couple of fundraiser breakfasts planned. The kids that work the meal will get credit for the profit. It will be split amongst the kids that work the morning.
Pie Sales: Bethany Students will pre sale pies for Easter. Pies will be sold and picked up on Easter. The kids that sell them will get the credit to thier camp accounts.
Sponsorship: Several individuals have offered up camp sponsorship for kids. Students sponsored are still encouraged to participate in the fundraisers to help the entire group get to camp.
Participation in the fundraisers will result in the money raised being divided equally between the students that work it, unless otherwise specified. These generate a large amount of camp funds and we want to share that with all the students. Your students are highly encouraged to participate.

Snacks can be sent with students for the week. We will provide snacks and gatorades/waters for the kids. If they want something specific they can bring it. ZERO energy drinks will be allowed on the trip.
COVID/FLU: Any student with a COVID diagnosis or in a home with a COVID diagnosis 10 days prior to camp will not be allowed to attend camp. Any student with a Flu diagnosis 5 days prior to camp will not be allowed to attend. There are over 1000 students at camp (with 50+ being in our group). We feel it is honorable to Bethany Baptist and to God in being great stewards of our health and not spreading COVID/Flu knowingly. Zero exceptions will be made.
