SUMMER CAMP JOBS:
We're hiring enthusiastic, self-motivated staffers who know what servant leadership is all about. We're looking for grit, initiative, and great communication skills. Are you creative, organized, and excited about working with kids?

We want you at Camp Pecometh! Variety of positions available. 9-week contract from early June to early August. Contact megansweeney[AT]pecometh.org or go to Our Camp Website Link: www.pecometh.org for more information.

CAMP FACILITIES: There is a large room for the activities of each language group. We have kitchen facilities where your child's lunch can be stored and an outdoor field for children to go out to play when the weather permits. We also have WIFI and a projector and large screen at our disposal.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Children become part of a theatre troupe, and are immersed in ESL (English as a Second Language), French, Chinese or Spanish. There is a performance at the end of each two-week session. Daily activities include: sports, theatre and music games, crafts and practice for a performance.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: CIT is for young teens who already can speak fluently or who are almost fluent in the target language. They pay as campers and will be helped to refine their language skills and to learn how to work with younger students. They will be assigned specific tasks each day and discuss the day with the counselors daily. At the end of camp, each one who participated successfully will be able to receive a recommendation from the director in the case that they apply to work at another camp. They also may become eligible eventually to be paid assistants in our camp when they are old enough (currently 18).

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Early enrollment receives a 20% discount (February) and a 10% March 1 - 15. No registration fee until March 15th. All campers pay a materials fee of $10.00 a week.

At this time there is no formal scholarship or financial aid program, but if your family has a hardship, contact the director.

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): The children will learn their target language, theatre and music through games and exercises daily, and through these experiences, build a show to share with their parents. All activities - music, theatre, crafts, sports, recess, and games - will be used by the staff to lead to an enrichment in the target language. The program attracts both those who are fluent (who concentrate mostly on the arts aspect and the fun and who can become leaders, helping their peers to speak better) and those who are beginners and of various levels of language speaking.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: French, Chinese and Spanish lessons at the same location. See online schedule.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Children focus on the theatre skills; we focus on their language skills. This is a dramatic way to prepare your child for this global economy!

The director, Kaaren Agnez, has a professional theatre background. Counselors are trained in theatre and working with children and speak their target language fluently; most are natives. All speak at a native level: most are native speakers. Your children will learn the best of movement and improvisational theatre techniques, and all that in a way that helps them to speak another language.
