An Epic Camp Experience That Points Youth to Christ

Summer Camps
Weekend Retreats

Dive into Fun, Faith, and Friendship

Camp Peniel was founded in 1946 for the sole purpose of reaching today’s youth for Jesus Christ.

We operate as a non-denominational ministry. We believe that every week of camp should be a life changing experience because of the extreme fun experienced and the rock solid Bible training received. Our mission is to challenge every camper to strengthen their personal relationship with Christ while experiencing Adventure With A Purpose!

All About Camp Peniel

Bringing people to a “face-to-face” relationship with God through Christ-centered adventures

Through His grace, [my daughter] had the opportunity to grow in the knowledge and wisdom of Christ. She was able to experience branching out on her own a bit more and exercise the maturity that comes with growing in Christ. By the end of camp, she was invigorated with new zeal for the Lord. This wasn’t something new. This has always been our family’s experience at Camp Peniel going back for decades.”

Camp Peniel… There’s no place like it… LOTS of Joy of the Lord, opportunities to learn about the love of JESUS, teaching how the Scriptures tell us of God’s plan of redemption for each of us and how to have a relationship with Jesus when in faith we receive Jesus as a gift from God.

Really good experience. Five stars for camp staff, cleanliness of camp, cabins where nice. Zip line was great, canoes where good. The main camp is kinda small, but not all camps have to be spread out. The roads where fairly bumpy, but it’s a camp so who cares really. Mostly 4 stars because a few food items seemed cooked incorrectly, and definitely the coffee left a lot to be desired (and coffee is fairly important to a lot of people, lol). I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could.

My family has been associated with camp peniel For three generations. My mother met Gordon when she was a teenager through the Methodist Church and when they started camp Peneili My parents sent both of my sisters and I to camp. We all loved it and when I had children, I sent my children to camp.Peniel. My son loved it, and his daughter now goes to camp every summer at camp Peniel.

Came here as a child in the 2000’s. I have so many great memories I still think about! I did not see cultural appropriation of natives like another commenter said. My supervisor was a native guy and we made bead bracelets. Everything had a Christian message and there was plenty of fun activities mixed in as well as kayaking. The nature is so beautiful I got to go through caves, trails, and creeks. ♥️

I attended Camp Peniel in the early 80s two years in a row. Some of the happiest memories of my lifetime. It’s so weird that I remember my councilor name it was Catfish and the horse i was obsessed with Snickers. The atmosphere was amazing and definitely felt closer to God when I left

My granddaughter has been attending for 4 years now…she will talk about camp for the rest of the year waiting to go back. She is wanting to eventually become a camp counselor when she’s in college. This camp has been a huge influence on her life and daily walk with Jesus and reading her bible. Thank you so much to Camp Peniel!

Camp Peniel is an opportunity for you and your children to take a step out of life and meet your creator face to face.

This organization taught me the power of serving others and the absolute joy in embracing life change in the campers and staffers you meet. Your children will come home different. You will love the mindsets fostered and the skillsets taught.

Your students will thank you for letting them find community, push their mental limitations, and finding joy in a personal relationship with Jesus.

Don’t wait, sign up for a weekend camp or a weeklong summer camp.

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel:

For I Have Seen God Face to Face

Genesis 32:30
