PENIEL BIBLE CAMP

Planning for the Retreat

With activities for fathers and sons of all ages, this weekend retreat provides opportunity for building special family memories. Challenging messages from God’s Word will speak to the hearts of fathers, grandfathers, teens, and young boys. While many enjoy bunking in one of our cabins (bring your own bedding), campsites are available for those who wish to bring their own tent or trailer.

CHECK-IN begins at 4:30 p.m. Friday and continues through 6:45. Three meals are included, beginning with supper at 7:00 p.m. on Friday evening. The retreat concludes mid-afternoon on Saturday.

REGISTRATIONS will be accepted as long as space is available. There is a discount for registrations received by March 1. Registrations received after April 27 are subject to a late fee.

General Information

What to bring: Bible, pencil or pen, overnight items, warm clothing, and bedding—sleeping bag or several blankets as the spring nights can be cool!

Do not bring: Tobacco, alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, T-shirts with worldly advertising, or tank tops.

Dress Standards: (A copy of Peniel’s Appearance and Conduct Expectations will be sent after registration is received.) Collared shirts are to be worn for the Friday evening chapel service. Sports clothing should be brought for activities. Loose fitting pants that come to the knee may be worn.

Peniel Bible Camp reserves the right to ask any camper to change attire if it is deemed inappropriate in the estimation of the staff.
