Bethlehem

The Bethlehem site is hosted by Moravian College, the 6th oldest college in the nation, founded in 1742. It is curious in that includes both a CAA program for Older Students (OS), 7th-10th grade, and a CTY program for Young Students (YS), 5th and 6th grades. The OS and YS groups eat separately, though in the same dining hall, congregate in different areas, attend different dances, are housed in different dorms, and participate in different afternoon activities. However, for a few weekend activities, such as Color Wars and a few groups for Mystery Night, each YS group is placed with two OS groups (male and female). There are approximately 80 YS students and 160 OS students.

Buildings

• The HUB (Haupert Union Building), home of the site office, the forbidden carpet, cafeteria, auditorium, and the Pavilion, where OS dances, and weekend activities are held; off of the HUB is the Portico, where OS kids chill after meals, and the Patio, where YS kids chill after meals.
• Comenius Hall, a.k.a. the "Harry Potter Building", so dubbed for its Romanesque architecture, houses Psychology, Heroes & Villains, and Math Sequence, among other classes.
• Reeves Library, closed to student use, but sometimes housing classes.
• P.P.-HAC (Priscilla Payne Hurd Academics Center), a large, modern building housing one of the computer labs.

Four Square

Four Square is a staple activity at the Bethlehem site, most likely due to the copious presence of suitable quadrangled sidewalks. The activity is popular with OS and YS alike, though YS CTYers are particularly enthused by it. (Indeed, so enthused that the RA's told them they played too much foursquare one year, and refused to give them the ball once, leading to the creation of Nameless, a foursquare variation using names instead of a ball.) The highest player, be it King or Ace, determines the set of rules upon ascension, including double-taps, bus-stops, stories, illegal serves, slamming (cherry-bombs), zapping, chicken feet, faults, line rules, connections, truces, et cetera.

A grid of especially large squares in front of PPHAC has given birth to "Extreme Four Square", which can be played in multiple ways.First, it can be played with teams of 2 or 3 kids per square. It can also be played with one person per square, which is usually accompanied by a rule of double bounces and double touches. Rules are otherwise the same, determined by the ace.

Note: Due to Moravian College's policies, the Bethlehem site does not have a Water Carnival.

Tradition

Bethlehem suffers from a dearth of tradition. Recently, though, a few Forevermore RAs have begun attempts to introduce some of the more general CTY traditions into the site community. Neither OS nor YS dances currently enjoy a canon beyond American Pie, but the circle-dance steps to the song have recently been introduced. Bethlehem does not have Passionfruit, but for 07.2 RAs held a Nevermore gathering after lights-out on the last Thursday.

The site is also known for its strong Ultimate program. The faculty team, starring the notorious Sean Kelly, suffered a 13-10 loss in 2007.

Another less known tradition is the Icy Hot Massacre, in which many boys put Icy Hot on the backside of their package either in the door rooms or on the quad.
