Camp Penuel was chartered as a Missouri Corporation in 1973 and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c) 3 charity making gifts to us tax deductible.  We are a nondenominational charity focusing on inner-city and “at risk” children and are governed by one Board of Directors under the leadership of founder and President Rev. Harry H. Douma.

Camp Penuel East is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit non-denominational, Christian Camp, founded by Rev. Harry Douma of Ironton, Missouri.  We have provided a free camping program to thousands of children ages 7-11 since established in 1994. The land and facilities were donated by Tim & Ruth Roudebush and Family. Our main focus is reaching inner - city kids, but our camping program is open to anyone regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, or handicap.
