About the Camps
Bethel University Christian Volleyball Camps provide opportunities for players to reach their potential through athletic and spiritual training. Campers receive nondenominational instruction from Christian coaches and players so that players from all backgrounds feel welcome. Campers will get the personal instruction needed to improve in the physical parts of the game, but will also learn how faith can be incorporated into athletics.
Despite the growth of Bethel University Volleyball Camps in the last several years, the ratio of coach to camper remains very low, with approximately one coach to every six campers. With security-monitored entrances and exits to the campus after dark, Bethel is a great location to send your daughter for an overnight camp.
