The Bethel Youth Drop-In Center partners with Bethel Lutheran Church at 5658 N Denver Ave, Portland OR 97217, to operate a six-week Summer Day Camp Program for children entering first through sixth grade. The 2024 Day Camp will be in session 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM from July 1 through August 9 — our 28th season. T he Center is a partnership between Bethel Lutheran Congregation and neighborhood families, offering a safe space for children to learn, play, make friends, and explore adventures in the community. While housed at a church, the program is secular, offers no religious instruction, and welcomes children of all backgrounds. Thanks to our partners, this program includes S.T.E.M. projects, games, reading, crafts, city excursions, and two meals daily for $200 per child per week. Discounts offered for additional children. Families needing assistance may confer with the Director to enroll children on a sliding scale ($200-$25).
