 Bethany Camp has existed since 1952 for the purpose of seeing men, women, youth and
children come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. God has truly blessed us with 213 beautiful acres to enjoy His Creation. We are busy about the work of
providing a place for people to get away from the normal routine of life. While here at Bethany Camp, campers hear God’s Word, meet new people, enjoy fun and exiting
activities, and leave challenged, having observed what it means to have a daily personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Come join the fun and learning and bring your
friends.

Goals and objectivies
It is our goal to generate a camp setting
through different activities and the teaching of the Word of God which will cause campers to come to a saving knowledge of Christ and grow in their walk with Him.
We encourage practical experience in leadership, service, witnessing, proper diet, wholesome exercise, and good attitudes toward the body as God's
temple.
Camper centered
The counselor seeks to meet the individual needs of each camper in all areas of life: spiritual,
physical, social, and mental.
Because campers learn in specific ways at different development stages, the camp program is carefully designed with those
needs in mind.

Bethany has been functioning as a camp five miles East of Sinclairville, NY for 20 years, but history takes it back another 25 years to its beginning on Chautauqua Lake. The ten acres of land that were purchased near Mayville in 1951, were cleared of brush and drainage ditches and a ball field was bulldozed.
In 1976, the last year that Bethany operated at the old site, the music camp, attended by about 80 campers, did a floating concert, both choral and instrumental, on the Chautauqua Belle, getting off to entertain people at various locations.
In 1974, the Health Department declared that the camp on Chautauqua Lake must change the septic system or close. This, along with a number of other reasons, resulted in the purchase of 170 acres of the present site.
