Camp Pecometh

How are the counselors trained?

Counselors are at least 18 years old and are hired through a series of interviews, referrals, and applications. Most of our staff come from local area churches, and many have been campers here at Pecometh. We also hire several international staffers each year through international placement agencies, where they are thoroughly screened, and offer much in the way of specialized training and the sharing of other cultures. Counselors receive professional training before summer camp begins, in accordance with the standards set forth by the American Camp Association and COMAR, the Maryland state licensing requirements for youth camps. Pecometh adheres to standards and guidelines set forth by the following organizations:

American Canoe Association
American Red Cross
Life Guarding
First Aid/CPR
Association for Challenge Course Technology
American Camp Association
National Association for Interpretation
US Sailing
Maryland Safe Boater, Department of Natural Resources
Project Adventure
High Five Adventure Learning Center
USA Archery

Financial Assistance
The Pecometh Campership Fund, supported by donations, provides financial assistance on an individual basis to campers in need in the form of partial camperships. If you are in need of a campership, please contact the camp administrator for complete details.

Publicity
Photographs and videos of campers and activities may be used for program or publicity purposes unless otherwise requested in writing by parents. Parent and camper quotes may be used in a similar manner, but remain anonymous. In accordance with privacy regulations, Camp Pecometh does not give out personal information regarding campers, such as name, address, phone number, etc.
