What if you could live in a perfect world...
A world where everyone was accepted for who they are, a
world that was open to the new and the different, a world
with minimized structure and maximized opportunities?

Now what if that world was located amid quiet hills

on the shore of a pristine lake in mid-coastal Maine?

Founded in 1967 as a co-ed, non-sectarian, noncompetitive

arts camp, Camp Med-O-Lark is that

world. Med-O-Larkers gather each summer to create a

community where everyone has the chance to discover,

to grow, to create, to learn and to shine.

Emphasizing the creative arts, Med-O-Lark has the

most extensive offering of programs in dance, fine arts,

handcrafts and theater of any camp in New England.

Campers typically attend one or two four-week

sessions, though Med-O-Lark does offer a special two week

option for younger campers. Ultimately, what

makes Med-O-Lark truly unique is its understanding

of what camping should be. It’s about the atmosphere.

Above all, Med-O-Lark encourages self-expression

and discovery. Med-O-Lark is a place where campers

have the chance to try new activities and forge lasting

friendships. At Med-O-Lark, no one feels “left-out”.

A common refrain heard from campers and staff alike

is “there’s just something about this place” that makes

the experience powerful and exciting, something

which lies beyond the vast activity offerings, humorous

evening programs, and serene location. What is that

“something”? As so many campers and staff say,

“It’s the people.” It’s the magic that is made when people

share their true selves in a remarkable community.

We hope that you will join us at Med-O-Lark to discover the magic for yourself. Come and

find out why Med-O-Lark is a truly amazing summer camp experience!
