2012 Application Information
Thanks for your interest in Camp Peniel!
We are looking for committed men and women (teens and adults) who have a deep desire to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to all the guests who come through our gate - no matter what their age. Summer staff missionaries are expected to live consistent Christ-like lives and be a part of a unified team of staff who display a servant's heart, a passion for God and a deep love for kids.
Applicants should have experience in some of the skills we offer, experience in working with children and teens as well as a love for God and a desire to serve Him in this setting. It's exciting being on staff, but you must be in good physical, emotional and spiritual shape to handle the long days and nights that come with the territory. You will be challenged and stretched - an exciting way to spend your summer!
Before you go any further with this application, please review our website to familiarize yourself with Camp Peniel. Then prayerfully consider (and ask others to as well) if this might be the place for you. Once you have applied, and if you are accepted, we will depend upon your full commitment.
* NOTE: you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader® to view any documents so marked. If you are unable to download any of these documents and would like them mailed to you, please contact the camp office.
