"As we dedicate Camp Peniel today, may we praise God for men and women of vision, past and present
who have made Brethren camping in the Pennsylvania district the great force and inspiration that it is.
And may each one of us dedicate our prayers, our labors, our treasures, to the future growth of this great movement."
June 8, 1969 Henry Bates
Camp Peniel is nestled on 100 acres in the beautiful and tranquil mountains of western Pennsylvania.
In 1962 this ground was purchased with vision and foresight of creating a place that would make an eternal difference in the years
to come. Our forefathers/mothers in the faith spent the next five years making renovations to the ground which included developing
the farm pond into a swimming area and the barn into what we know today as the chapel. The first camp season was held in 1967
and an official dedication in 1969, dedicating the camp to the Lord.
Since then, hundreds of people have enjoyed the amenities of Camp Peniel.
They have come to enjoy the fun times and friendships they have found in being a camper at church camp during summer.
They have come to get away from the business of their daily lives and rest on this piece of heaven on earth.
They have come to have an experience with coming face to face with God.
The Brethren Church hosts three weeks of church camp during the summer.
The facility is available to rent during the rest of the year.
It is the perfect location to celebrate life's milestones, relax, and enjoy nature’s beauty.
