"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 TREASURES, TO THE FUTURE GROWTH OF THIS GREAT MOVEMENT."
JUNE 8, 1969 HENRY BATES
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.
SINCE THEN, AN UNCOUNTABLE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE ENJOYED THE AMENITIES OF CAMP PENIEL.
THEY HAVE COME TO ENJOY THE FUN TIMES AND FRIENDSHIPS FOUND IN SUMMMER CAMP; TO GET AWAY FROM THEIR DAILY LIVES AND FIND REST; UNITE IN MARRIAGE AND ENJOY GOD'S NATURAL BEAUTY AS THE BACKGROUND TO THEIR MILESTONE CELEBRATIONS.
WE'D LOVE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU TOO.
