Packing Lists
- Download the packing lists
- Dress code policies help Camp Peniel create the best camping experience for everyone. Camp Peniel reserves the right to use discretion to ensure all campers are modestly dressed. Campers who are immodestly dressed at camp will be asked to change, so please keep the camp dress code in mind when packing clothes to bring to camp.
Lost and Found Items
Please mark all clothing and personal items with your child’s full first and last name and counsel them to keep up with their belongings during their week at camp. Camp Peniel does not take responsibility for recovering lost or misplaced items of clothing or equipment. Missing items after the camp week should be reported to the office as soon as possible.
Swim Check
- Campers take a swim check in the pool on Monday afternoon during their first visit to the pool. The swim check consists of swimming approximately 20 yards. After each camper finishes the check, the lifeguards will give them a color-coded wrist band to be worn throughout the week, based on the campers’ swimming capability in the pool. Swim bands will be assigned based upon how comfortable the camper appears in the water, their body position, and the energy that is exerted when they are swimming. One band signifies that the camper needs to wear a personal floatation device (PFD) when in the deep side of the pool. The other band allows the camper to swim in the entire pool without the use of a PFD unless they so desire.
- If a camper is not satisfied with the outcome of the swim check, there will be an opportunity to re-check. A re-check does not guarantee a change in their wrist band color.
Drop-Off and Pick Up
- Monday morning the Camp Gates will open at 8:30 am to begin check-in soon after. After Monday, Day Camp drop off is from 8:45-9 am. The gates will be open by 4 pm for pick-up every day.

Medication
If prescription medication needs to be given to your child during the day, it must be administered by our camp nurse.
Day Camp Lunch
Each camper brings a sack lunch to be stored in the day camp fridge until lunch time. We ask that parents avoid nut products as much as possible while packing lunches.
Bullying/Conflicts
Conflicts happen, even in uplifting environments like camp. We train our counselors/ camp staff to recognize and reduce conflict within the context of camp. They are also trained on detecting bullying and taking proper measures to defuse these types of behaviors. All camp staff treat each situation as appropriate, and will call parents to update as needed.
