Getting Ready For Camp


Sometimes it is hard to know how you can be involved in your child’s summer camp experience since you aren’t with them at camp.  Getting ready, reading the information, and reviewing the packing list will help you get your camper prepared for camp and keep you involved in the process. If there is anything that the camp can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to let us know! We are looking forward to having your child with us for this exciting time in their life. See you soon!

Learning to trust your friends and yourself...

exploring the rivers, hills, and uncharted territories

Opening Day
 

Check-in begins on Sunday afternoon at 3 PM in our gym.    Please do not arrive earlier than 3:00, we want our staff to be 100% ready for your children!  However, for an easy transition for the children please plan to arrive as close to 3:00 as possible.

 

Closing Ceremony

 

Our Saturday Morning Closing ceremony begins at 10 AM.  This is a very special time for each camper to share with their parents what they have learned at camp.  Please make every effort to attend.   No family has ever intended to miss the Closing Day, but it does happen.  It is tough for a child to watch other campers with their families and realize that their family is not there.  For this reason, it is important that you ARRIVE BY 9:45 on Saturday.   Please plan to take your children home right after the ceremony.

 

 

Cabin Requests
 

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 them.  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! Thank you for your cooperation.

Insurance

Our camper families (and their respective insurance carriers) take responsibility for any required medical services, including (but not limited to) prescriptions, x-rays, physical therapy, lab work, and emergency room visits.  We will bill you for these services if the physician or hospital we use is not a provider for your insurance company.  We will require all campers to be covered by medical insurance during their stay at Camp Peniel.

Care Packages


It is unnecessary to send your child any gift packages while they are at camp.  Camp is a gift sufficient for anyone--but parents sometimes send care packages for special occasions.  Remember, they are only at camp a week and are allowed no more than two packages (unless having a birthday during their week at camp).  No candy or food items are allowed! You do not have to send a lot of stuff.  Just getting a package will mean a lot to your camper.

If your camper has a special occasion while attending camp, our  “From The Heart” care packages can be pre-ordered by you and delivered by us.  It is designed to give parents an easy way to send a care package without incurring the shipping expense.  There is guaranteed to bring smile-making surprises inside.  The cost is $25.

Trading Post


Each camper establishes an account in the Trading Post.  Each day, campers have the opportunity to visit the Trading Post where they can purchase fun souvenirs, snacks, sunscreen, cameras, stamps, etc…)  When paying the camp fee, we encourage parents to submit funds to provide for their child’s snacks and souvenirs.  Unused funds may be picked up before departure.
