Help Needed to Prepare for the 2009 Camping Season

Dear friends of Peniel Bible Camp,

We would like to personally invite you to help us get the camp ready for the 2009 camping season. Two Saturdays have been set aside for this purpose - April 11th and 25th. Any of you who have helped before are certainly aware of the importance of having many helping hands in this annual task. For one, the task is enormous. With all of us working together, it can be an enjoyable day of service.

The buildings were closed down in the fall and need to be opened, dusted, swept, washed, and made ready for the first campers who will arrive on May 1st.

Helpers should bring basic spring cleaning supplies (all purpose cleaner, rags, window cleaner, etc.). An area to clean will be assigned to you.

You might want to plan to arrive early in the day, do your cleaning in the morning, eat a picnic lunch on the grounds (bring your own food), and enjoy a spring day at camp when you are finished.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Spring Projects at Peniel

Work continues on the camp property in anticipation of the opening camp of the season on May 1st (Father/Son Retreat). Several trees were removed out by the road and around Olden' Hall.


The kitchen ceiling/walls were repaired and painted. A special "splash area" was installed in the dish room around the work areas. (Anyone who has worked in there can appreciate that!) Everything was moved out and the floors were professionally cleaned.




The office was painted and rearranged.
