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.

Camp Peniel

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

The Purpose
Camp Peniel’s Work Crew is a volunteer discipleship summer camp program. For two week “blocks,” we will lead high school students through interactive bible studies, practicing spiritual disciplines, and times of sharing our experiences walking with the Lord in order to have a better understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
The Plan
It’s called WORK Crew for a reason. Participants will help with the daily chores that come with having 200 people around. Each block will work on other big picture projects that keep camp moving forward. And, there are also opportunities for participants to serve alongside our counseling staff in creating the best week possible for our campers. Our hope is that through these things we get to practice living out what we are learning about being a disciple of Jesus as we imitate Him in serving those around us.
Work Crew is hard work, but it is also a ton of fun. Expect to play, create, laugh….even lounge. The directors are always coming up with crazy games to keep things interesting. Work Crew will go on outings throughout the Texas Hill Country like an evening at Lake Marble Falls, cliff jumping, etc. A hammock garden is a favorite hangout spot and there is plenty of time to enjoy all that camp has to offer.
The People
For many, the friends they make on Work Crew end up being lifelong friends. Imagine a group of high school students in which there is the captain of a football team, a girl with purple hair, another girl who is destined for the stage, a guy in cowboy boots, a shy girl that is most comfortable in her books, a pageant winner, and a guy with glasses & two knee braces. This is typical of Work Crew. It is a group of people that are so completely different, but because Jesus unites them, they love each other really well. And it is beautiful.
Application for summer 2023 Opening Soon!
