One week of complete craziness in the middle of the summer! Campers must have completed 9th grade.
Two-week summer terms that combine the chores that keep camp running and the most fun you’ll ever have. Campers must have completed 9th grade.
Catch up and hang out in this relaxed reunion weekend in February. Open to work crew from the previous summer.
Safety at camp is of utmost importance. We desire for all of our campers to have the experience of a lifetime, pursuing adventure and new challenges. We want them to have the opportunity to do all of this in a safe, managed environment.
Our health care staff consists chiefly of a registered nurse, who is responsible for the overall health of our campers and camp as a whole. An off-site physician reviews and approves in writing all standing orders which are revised and updated annually prior to each summer’s opening. Medical care is available on a 24-hour basis by our RN. A log is kept of any and all treatment provided.
Campers are required to have a health screening prior to their arrival at camp. This allows us to meet the specific needs of each camper, especially as it pertains to health and medication. Please visit our forms page to download the appropriate Health Form for your screening. All medications are turned in to the nurse upon arrival and will be dispensed as directed during a camper’s session.
We encourage campers to attend without concern for hometown buddies but we will make every effort to place your child with a special requested friend, if that friend also requests your child. We will not place more than 3 friends in the same cabin. With over 50 years of experience, we know this to be the best arrangement for all campers in the cabin. Coordinate your child’s cabin mate choices carefully and with the other camper parents as they need to agree with one another and must be within a year of the same grade. One of the real benefits of a camp experience involves meeting and making new friends from different places. Encourage this openness and flexibility and they will have a great time!
Campers love to get letters! There is something special about a hand-written letter that sets it apart from emails. We strongly encourage you to send hand-written letters for your camper to cherish at mail call (every day after lunch). Since “snail mail” can take three to five days for delivery, preparation (send letters even before camp begins) -but a hand-written letter is often kept for years, while emails are thrown away quickly. Take the time to write a letter; we think this is one of the most memorable parts of a camping experience.

Hand written letters are what campers most love, but we also deliver emails at mail call (if received by 10:00 a.m. Monday – Friday). Only registered family can send campers email through our password protected photo and email service. Email can be sent to your camper for an addition cost. You can purchase “Camp Stamps” once you have logged in to your account. Be sure to use all that you purchase. There will be no refunds for unused email. You will also want to be sure that you have not given out your user name and password. Anyone who has your user name and password would be able to send emails on your account. You will have the ability to change your user name and password if such a problem occurs. Remember: Campers are not able to respond to email. They are busy having fun outdoors!

Notes to Parents
Clothing
Please mark all clothing items with your child’s full first and last name and counsel them about being careful not to lose his/her clothing during their week at camp. Usually problems of this nature arise when the child is getting ready to leave camp. Camp Peniel does not take responsibility for recovering lost or misplaced items of clothing. Your child’s clothing items are his or her responsibility. We will place a lost and found articles tub near the office. Please check it before leaving on Saturday.
Date: June 29 – July 5
High School Camp is so intense we shut down all of our other summer programs so everyone on staff is all in! You can expect exciting games, funny skits, crazy competitions, eye-lifting worship, convicting & encouraging messages, & deep relationships. In all of this, our hope is that we get to see Jesus & learn to live like He lived & love like He loved. Campers must have completed the 9th grade. Spaces fill quickly so register as soon as possible!
