Making a Difference in Young Lives
One of the best things about Pecometh is how summer camp transforms the lives of young people. It’s a place where campers learn independence, build social skills, and experience the love of God—all while spending their days immersed in nature. Where else can they get all that in one incredible experience?
Beyond the activities and adventures, the impact is real and lasting. We especially love hearing from parents who share how camp has touched their children’s lives. Their stories remind us that we are doing the work God has called us to do.
Stories That Inspire
Here are just a couple of the powerful testimonials from parents that highlight the difference Pecometh makes:
A Turnaround for a Teen Camper
"I was worried that it would be my oldest's last camp year, as she had been hesitant to return. Statements like, ‘I’m not sure if I want to go back next year. I don’t want to leave my cell phone behind,’ left me uncertain. But the Late Night with Jesus experience completely changed her perspective. She came home excited to attend for several more years, as long as she can.Her counselor was amazing—laid back but so engaging and encouraging. I have fond memories of many years at a Christian camp I attended, and it was so encouraging to see that same look in my daughter’s eyes when we picked her up."
Independence and Connection for a Young Camper
"My son loved being independent of his family and making new connections with people. He was excited to tell me about the faith exploration experiences he had. He navigated challenges well and didn’t let them discourage him from having fun—shower lines, heat, and even bugs in the cabin didn’t faze him!He enjoyed traditional games, the chance to meet new friends, and the opportunity to explore his faith in a meaningful way. It was amazing to see him grow in confidence and connection during his time at camp."
Why Camp Matters More Than Ever
In a world filled with screens and endless distractions, the fact that summer camp can keep young people engaged well into their teen years—without cell phones, tablets, or computers—shows how truly powerful this experience is.
Camp cuts through the noise and creates a space where kids and teens can focus on what matters: faith, friendships, and personal growth. It helps them navigate the challenges of growing up with resilience and joy.
