What WE Believe.
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Christian church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Every season, God sends us a dynamic staff from near and far to fill the summer staff positions. We spend a great deal of time interviewing, checking references, and running background checks. All staff members must agree to abide by the Bingle Camp polices and procedures as well as submit a sexual propriety statement. Prior to the start of our camping programs, all staff members participate in a week long training session. Please refer to our working for Bingle web page and view the staff policies document.

Bingle Camp welcomes campers from all backgrounds. Some of our campers do not regularly attend a particular church. Bingle Camp provides diverse programs and desires to share the love of God with every camper. It is our hope that every camper will learn from the chapel lessons and Bible lessons that our staff lead. We pray that each camper has the opportunity to learn about Jesus and has the desire to pursue a relationship with Him or to grow in their faith while at Bingle Camp.
