GIVING TO CAMP ICHTHUS and CAMPERSHIPS - The camp is a non-profit camp affiliated with the First Baptist Church of Bethlehem.  Over the years the camp has been blessed by many donations and special gifts. People have given supplies, money to purchase equipment to even a donation of a mobile home.  More importantly many have given the gift of camp to young people who cannot afford otherwise to go away for a week.  If you are interested in making a donation to Camp Ichthus please contact Pastor Eric the camp pastor/director.
