Camp Life
All non-camp activities at camp are led by Cabin Counselors. Our Cabin Counselors are college students who share a passion for music. Counselors spend a week of staff training focusing on safety, nurturing, homesickness, fun, leading games and hikes, team-building , campfires, PCP traditions and other skills that help to make the summer successful for each camper. Our Cabin Counselors are the first friendly faces campers encounter upon arrival, and with whom special bonds are formed that often last a lifetime.
Please note: Campers are unplugged. Cameras are the only electronic allowed at PCP. Phone communication is not permitted. Campers receive communications via the USPS.
Cabin Living
Campers sleep in rustic cabins of 4-8 bunkbeds that have been lovingly covered with graffiti by former campers. All cabins have electricity, hot showers, and bathrooms located either in the cabin or in the case of the Roost Cabin – very close by the cabin.
Activities
Our Cabin Counselors offer a wide range of traditional summer camp activities ranging from newcomb, capture-the-flag, to water activities on beautiful Lake Dunmore, like canoeing and kayaking to hiking on Mount Moosalamoo to off-campus excursions. The range of activities is limited only by safety and the creative ideas of our staff.
Evening activities include movie night, a dance night replete with party theme and costumes, improv games, performance music workshops, attendance at our faculty concerts, campfire skits and songs, and star gazing.
