2020 COVID-19 Update
In response to the unique circumstances of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have updated our 2020 cancellation policies. We want every family to be able to make the decision that is best for them without worrying about the financial impact.
- Families may choose to roll over all or part of their fees paid to the 2021 summer camp season. Families who choose to roll over all fees will have the chance to register for 2021 early at 2020 rates.
- Families may choose to donate all or part of their fees to support the continuation of our ministry. Families who choose to donate their fees will have the chance to register for 2021 early at 2020 rates.
- Families may choose to ask for a full refund, with the hope that we will see them back next summer, too!
*****
We believe that every child should be able to come to camp, which is why we have more options than ever for paying for camp! We offer individual payment plans, camperships, our Early Payment Discount, and our Thrifty Fifty referral discount!

Payment Options
All registrations require a $50 deposit per camper per program, payable online via credit card or by mail via check or money order. Please note: your camper is not registered if we have not received the $50 deposit. Only registered campers are guaranteed a spot in the program. Registration payments are due in full by June 1st or at the time of registration if registering after June 1st.
Manage Your Own Payments
When you register online you automatically create an account that you can access at anytime to make payments with a credit card. That puts you in control of when and how you pay for camp with a balance payoff date of June 1.
At the time of registration, you can also choose to set up a payment plan with automatic payment dates. Contact Julie Lutz here or at 410-556-6900 x128 for more information about payment plans and payoff dates.
Discounted Camper Fees
We understand money is tight, but if you’d like to save a bit, we can help! Everyone loves a discount!
Some discounts are available to all camper families by using the following discount codes. You may only apply one discount code per camper at the time of registration. Contact the camp office if you believe you are eligible for more than one offer. Please note: if upon review you are not eligible to use the code, we will contact you with an updated invoice reflecting your adjusted balance.
- If we receive your camper fee payment in full by February 1, 2020, we will reduce your total fees by 10%. Use code FEB10
- If we receive your camper fee payment in full by March 1, 2020, we will reduce your total fees by 5%. Use code MARCH5
- Day Campers registering for five or more weeks of camp are eligible for a 10% discount on day camp program fees. Use code DAYCAMP10
- Mini Campers registering for back-to-back Mini Camp sessions July 26-31 (Mini Camps C & D) are eligible for a $50 discount on program fees. Use code B2BMINI
Thrifty Fifty - a referral bonus!
Help us to register your friends as first-time campers and we’ll help you AND your friend. Here’s how it works:
- Have your friend (not family) who is a first-time camper register for camp. Make sure they they list your name for the question "Were you referred by a returning camper?" on the Camper Information Form. You'll each get a $50 discount when we confirm that you are both registered.
- We’ll apply a $50 credit toward the cost of camp for each first-time camper friend you bring.
- You are eligible for Thrifty Fifty credits up to the total cost of your camper family balance.
This is a WIN-WIN-WIN: Your friend wins, you win, and Pecometh wins, too!
Camperships
Camperships are our version of scholarships. They are available for campers who need financial support to attend camp. We typically provide a $150 camperships for our week-long, overnight programs and $50 for mini-camp.
If you would like more information, please email Registrar Julie Lutz or call 410-556-6900 x128. If you would like to complete a Campership Application, download the form and upload it to your online account when completed, or mail it in with your paper registration.
We also encourage you to check with your church or community organization. Most are very willing to help send a child to camp!
Cancellation and Refunds
Life can be hectic, and we all know plans can change at the last minute! Please understand that when you cancel a registration, we have already done administrative work, hired staff, purchased supplies, paid for insurance, updated facilities and more based on our registration numbers. With that in mind, we hope to be fair to our families and to be good stewards of our ministry with our cancellation policies.
- Registration payments are due in full by June 1st or at the time of registration if registering after June 1st unless an alternate payment plan has been confirmed with the Registrar.
- The registration deposit is not refundable at any time unless a family death or verifiable medical cause prevents the camper from attending.
- Cancellations prior to June 1st may receive a refund of payments made, minus the deposit, ONLY if we are able to fill their space. Refunds will be made after the camper's spot is filled.
- No refunds will be made after June 1 for any cancellations. Campers leaving the program for any reason after it begins will still be responsible for the full program balance and will not be eligible for any refund.
- Exception: If a program is canceled due to lack of participation, and another suitable program is not available, Pecometh will refund all monies paid, including deposit.
