★★★★★Phil RekitzkeIt’s a special place for great respite, fellowship & refocusing on important things.
★★★★★Pearl JohnsonI'm on this site looking for camp for my daughter's children. My children attended Camp Pecometh for years, for the Howard Bailey program and weeks when their Dad was teaching there. I have been sending my grandchildren who love it. A wonderful get away from urban life, and they learn so many things and make friends. I admired the photos as I could see the release in their faces after two years of being shut down because of Covid.
