Introduction to Bethel Youth Drop-In Center
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. The 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. Contact the Center by email at ydic@bethelpdx.org (attention Director or Board member Karen Anderson or Board member Ronda Bard).
