Why Camp is Great, According to Campers

Why campers love Camp Pecometh!Who doesn't love to getting letters and thank you notes? Here at Pecometh, one of the highlights of opening the mail is when we get a letter from a camper.

We thought we'd share a few excerpts from thank you letters we got from campers last year. After all, who better to explain why Camp Pecometh is the Best Week Ever?

Here are some of our favorite quotes from campers, with the original grammer and spelling preserved (we always love the variety of spellings for "Galilean.")

"I had a great time at camp during the week. The campfire and Stargazing were great memories that I will always cherish. Even kayaking was fun, even though I messed up during it. Anyways I hoped you enjoyed having me as your camper."

- DJ

"Camp was so much fun and it also helped me to feel closer to God. For example, in Bible study, I learned that God loves you no matter what. Also, I felt very close to God through Galilea. The songs we sang also touched my heart. Thanks again! I had so much fun at camp."

- Chaily

Why campers love Camp Pecometh!

"The activities in camp were fun as well. Swimming, kayaking, canoing, splashdown, the campfires and the nature discovery were all fun. The carnival on Wendsday was the best time of my life. Ring toss, balloon animals, football tossing, and just hanging out were the best. Camp Pecometh has changed the way I see God. I realized that He is in everyone."

- Djimon

"I had a great time. I enjoyed tubing and kneeboarding the most. It's the best camp I've ever been to :-). I also like how you teach us about God in fun ways like music time. Galilean was so beautiful. It was a really nice service. Thank you so much :-)"

- Autumn

"I had a very good time at the splashdown camp. It was very fun going tubing in the Chester river. Our counselor was very nice so you can congratulate him for what he did and for helping me through tough times. It helped me learn more about God and God's love for me. I enjoyed Bible study every day. I just want to say thank you to all the staff for their help."

Why campers love Camp Pecometh!

"Last year when I was at Pecometh for a week, I had so much fun doing all of the activities. My favorite activities were the hay ride, counselor hide and seek, and splash-down. Please keep these activities in your curriculum. Pecomith impacted my life by helping me trust god more and work together with my peers."

- Regan

"Thank you for having these fun and exciting programs at camp. This is my third summer at Pecometh and it is still fun. My favorite part of camp was splashdown. Splashdown was my favorite part of camp because we went into the Chester River and played on giant inflatables. Also I made a few new friends. Thank you food and canteen too. 

While I was at camp I missed home. But later I forgot about it because I was having so much fun."

-Zach
