Welcome to Bethesda Friends Meeting
The Social Concerns Box for JULY AND AUGUST is for CAMP Opequon Capital Campaign Bethesda Friends is seeking donations during 2024-2025 to support and build Baltimore Yearly Meeting's (BYM's) summer youth arts camp (Camp Opequon) in Harper's Ferry, WV. Over the last 100 years, BYM Camps has grown to a family of four summer camp programs spread along the Appalachian Mountains – Opequon, Catoctin, Shiloh, and Teen Adventure. Serving more than 600 young people each year, each of our four camps offers distinctive programming tied together by the belief that there is “that of God” in each of us. As we enter the next century of BYM Camps, the creative arts camp, Opequon Quaker Camp, has moved to a new home at the Rolling Ridge Conservancy in Harper’s Ferry, WV. This beautiful, permanent home for Opequon Quaker Camp is the next step in the growth and long-term sustainability of BYM Camps. Read below for more details of how our meeting community is involved in helping ignite the future for our youth in support of OPEQUON QUAKER CAMP – All support makes a difference
