FROM LAST YEAR:

6th Annual Benefit Auction

A long time ago, a young couple had a desire to love the children around them. They did this by being involved in the childrens' lives. The more they became involved in the community, the more they realized a need that wasn't being met.

The best way they knew how to meet this need was to create a special summer camping experience. And so in 1965 they had summer camp.

We have had 43 summer camps now.

Part of the dream was to create an exciting and meaningful camp experience to children of all backgrounds. In order to stay true to that mission, we rely on the support of the community to help meet our financial goals and keep our camping program strong. The goal of the annual benefit auction is to help subsidize the costs of loving kids through community and program.

Bethany Birches Camp's 6th Annual Benefit Auction was a huge success, thanks to so many different people over $20,000 was raised. Many Vermont youth will be happy to attend camp when they otherwise couldn't have!

Join us for the 7th Annual Benefit Auction - Saturday, September 26, 2008.
