Week 5 - Minute to Win It (July 22nd -July26th)
It's time to see how many rubber bands can be wrapped around a watermelon, or how many apples you can bob. This week is all about seeing what fun things can be done in a minute's worth of time!

Week 8 - The Big Top (August 12th - Aug 16th)
Come one, come all to the greatest show of the summer! We will make circus themed crafts to turn PMEC into a show-stopping event and end camp with an amazing talent show!

Many of our camp counselors are high school and college age students, and for many this is their first job. While we do lots of training on youth development, they are not professionals. Our staff to camper ratio is 1:10 and the camp is not equipped to provide one-on-one staffing for campers. Please be respectful to our camp counselor staff, and if you have any concerns, you can reach out to the Recreation Director.
