About Camp BeeTree
Every summer, Towson Presbyterian Church offers a weeklong Christian day camp at BeeTree Preserve in Parkton, MD. For five days, Campers (K–5th Graders), Counselors-in-Training (6th–12th Graders), and adult volunteers, explore nature, build friendships, sing and dance, and make crafts, all while learning about God's unconditional love for them.
Our faith community strives to be inclusive, curious, compassionate, and courageous, and we pray that these values are on full display at Camp BeeTree each year! It is our hope that everyone involved experiences God's presence in a tangible way, even after camp week comes to a close.

CITs (6th–12th Grade)
Middle and high school students play an important role at Camp BeeTree as Counselors-in-Training. Each day, they assist adult leaders, support younger Campers, facilitate activities, and go to a special midday gathering for CITs only.
CITs must be positive role models for our campers, so as part of the registration process, they are required to complete a CIT application. Both the registration and CIT application can be done at the same time—just use the registration link above to get started.
Community service credit hours are available.
Regardless of whether they're a church member or non-church member, or whether they're staying from 8:15am–3:15pm or 8:15am–5:00pm, the cost is $125/wk per CIT.
Adult Leaders
Camp BeeTree is run entirely by volunteers, and parents are especially encouraged to help on-site or in the weeks leading up to camp. Volunteers help purchase supplies, prepare food and materials, supervise activities, and lead age groups.
Adult volunteers are screened through an application, background check, reference checks, and interview, and must be active in the TPC community for at least six months.
There is no cost to volunteer. Families may receive one $200 camper discount if a parent/guardian volunteers all five days of camp. The discount is limited to one per family. If you believe you are eligible, please contact our Interim Director of CYFM.
