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 as well .. Ultimately, what makes Med-O-Lark truly special 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!

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?




Our History

In the late 1800’s, one of the oldest boys camps in America was established on Washington

Lake, in Washington, Maine. This camp was named Medomak Camp. Across the lake,

Wetona Girls Camp was established in the early 1920’s on aparcel of land that was previously

a private farm. In 1946, Medomak camp purchased Wetona Girls Camp. After combining the

two, it was decided that a new name was in order. A twist of the Medomak name coupled

with the lovely Meadowlark bird, seen around the lake, yielded what is now known as Camp

Med- O-Lark. The camp was continuously occupied until 1965 when, after a period of slow

decline, it closed.

Less than two years later, however, it re-opened. The “new” Med-OLark

that was established in 1967 is the Med-O-Lark that exists

today. Different than all other camps of that era, Med-O-Lark was

created as a wonderful alternative to the traditional camps of those

times. It was designed as a co-ed, non-sectarian, non-competitive

camp that emphasized creative pursuits as the foundation of a campers

daily experience. Med-O-Lark’s goal was to embrace minority children as

well as children from other countries. It was to be a special place emphasizing

individual growth and community spirit. As a result of this pioneering approach to

camping, Med-O-Lark became an instant success. Today, Med-O-Lark stays true to its roots,

continuing its long traditionof values in a nurturing environment.

Our Philosophy

Open to the new and different... The underlying philosophy of Med-O-Lark is that children will thrive and

develop through individual choice and self-expression. Accordingly, Med-O-Lark encourages young people to

experience activities such as drawing, painting, dancing, acting, cooking, fencing, sailing, waterskiing and

much more. All instruction is conducted within an elective program, chosen by each camper individually. Evening

programs are also an extension of Med-O-Lark’s philosophy as campers perform, present and lead others as they

express themselves and share their talents.

Non-competitive attitude... Med-O-Lark does not have inter-camp sports competitions, tournaments or color war, as

most traditional camps do. There are no “best camper” awards that result in campers competing against each other.

Individual development and enrichment is promoted first and foremost, without competitive incentives.

Sense of community... At Med-O-Lark, community development is fostered at every turn. It is

a community where everyone shares, accepts and cares for others. For example, each day,

two camp-wide meetings are held to build a supportive and nurturing commnity.

Geographic and cultural diversity... Med-O-Lark has a wide mix of campers and staff

from many states and countries. Med-O-Lark is a place for people of any ethnic,

religious, national or racialbackground. It is coed, non-sectarian and diverse in every

respect.

Unique, non-traditional and pioneering... Among private c amps, Med-O -L ark was

at the forefront of changing the ca mp experience. It was among t he first to offer an

all-elective schedule, become coed and introduce vegetarian options at meal time.

It was the first to ban uniforms, color war and smoking on camp grounds. Long before

other c amps began doing so, Med- O-Lark embraced minority and international campers.

Med-O-Lark was the first camp to foster a pluralistic and non- competitive community.

Camp Life

Med-O-Lark Staff

Med-O-Lark seeks individuals who are warm, caring, giving and nurturing. The

average age of camp staff is nearly 23. All cabin counselors are at least 18 years of

age or older. Prior to the beginning of camp, Med-O-Lark staff attend a mandatory,

intensive, ten day training program. During this time, staff members receive training

in camper safety and are familiarized with Med-O-Lark’s policies, procedures and

values. The length and scope of Med-O-Lark’s training program exceeds the training

guidelines established by the American Camp Association. Med-O-Lark staff comes from

many states and countries. Historically, staff have come from countries such as Great Britain,

Australia, Israel and more. Med-O-Lark prides itself on having a large number of artists and teachers.

This mix of people with fresh ideas and unique perspectives forms a diverse community. Med-O-Lark counselors not

only provide campers with support, guidance and instruction, but also with lasting friendship.

The Dining Hall

Med-O-Lark offers an extensive, buffet-style dining experience for all three meals. The scrumptious assortment of

quality prepared foods made each day ensures that there is always “something for everyone”. For vegetarians as well,

there are always tasty choices. Campers can choose what they like, return as often as they want and sit anywhere in

the dining hall. In addition, fruit and ice-cold water are available all day for campers on the dining hall deck. At 3:30

p.m. each day, the entire camp gathers for an afternoon snack or ice cream break. After dinner, snacks are periodically

distributed during and after evening activities

The Health Center

Med-O-Lark has a fully equipped health center located in the center of camp. At all times, it is staffed by

at least two medical professionals; registered nurses and/or medical doctors. In addition, the Sheepscot

Medical Center, a regional health care facility, is less than a ten minute drive while Maine General Medical

Center in Augusta is 25 minutes away.

A Typical Day

Med-O-Lark offers an all-elective program in which

campers choose all of their own activities. Campers

choose five activities/workshops (from over fifty choices)

every two weeks. Therefore, campers take ten activities/

workshops during each four week session. In a typical

Med-O-Lark Day there are five activity periods as well

as ample free-time. During free-time, the staff remain at

their activity posts, thus enabling interested campers to

sample any other activity or workshop that is not a part of

their chosen, daily schedule. Once a week, campers enjoy

both a Trip Day and a Lazy Day. On Trip Day, campers go

to the beach, explore the coastline on an ocean cruise or

visit state parks. On Lazy Day, campers can sleep an extra

hour, enjoy an extended day of free choice activities or

simply take-in all that Med-O-Lark’s waterfront has to offer.

No activities at Med-O-Lark are mandatory

except when so requested by

a parent. Parents often request

that their children receive swim

lessons or music lessons and

individual instruction in other

specific areas.

Med-O-Lark is home to one of the largest and most allencompassing

Fine Arts programs of any camp. Camp life

revolves around the Art Barn, located in the center of camp,

and the many studios specifically designed and built for each

art program surrounding it. All art activities are led by professional

artisans or college students majoring in the arts. As a result, campers

receive high quality instruction.

Metal Jewelry

Enabling students to learn the techniques necessary to create metal jewelry, this studio focuses

on pieces such as necklaces, belt buckles, medallions, rings, earrings and chains. The work is done

in copper and silver and students are encouraged to incorporate other materials into their projects,

such as stone settings and enameled pendants.

Ceramics

In the extremely popular and well equipped ceramics studio, what can be created is limited

by only a camper’s imagination. Campers can hand build pieces, create sculptures

and busts, make tiles, pour molds, or learn to throw a pot on a wheel. The talented

staff and adult artisans are always able to guide campers as they learn

about clay, glazing, firing and the production of finished pieces.

Beads

In this expansive studio, campers create beautiful jewelry and accessories.

The studio is equipped with a wide array of materials, and the staff teach many

new and innovative techniques for working with beads. Campers create necklaces

of every shape, coin purses, chandelier earrings, beaded broaches, Fimo beads, dream

catchers, woven bead bracelets and much more.

Cloisonné Enameling

An ancient Enameling technique where wires are bent to form a design and the resulting

cells are wet-inlayed with enamel. In this studio, campers learn how to create Cloisonne on fine

silver, with fine silver wires. Creations are kiln fired at 1500 degrees Farenheit between 7-10

times for high quality results.

Champlevé

An ancient Enameling technique where enamel is wet-inlayed into depressions with metal

showing between enamel sections. In this studio, campers make depressions by etching from

a hand drawing using embossing powder as a resist. Work is fired at 1450 degrees Farenheit 5 or 6

times for wonderful creations.

Copper Enameling

Enameling on a pure copper surface using techniques such as Sifting, Stenciling, Sgraffito, Scrolling, Crackle

Enamel, Pull through, Draw and Sift, Decals and Raku. Campers add Lumps, Threads, Milleflori, Flower Wafers,

Gold and Silver foils

Basketry

The ancient art of basketry is alive and well in this popular studio as campers learn the weaving

techniques necessary to create beautiful custom baskets. The baskets are made from all natural

materials and can be woven with varying patterns while incorporating colorful fibers.

Candles

Housing one of Med-O-Lark’s most unique programs, t he Wax House ha s been

expanded in the last few years to include soap ma king, incense, essential oils and

wax sculpting. Candle making , however, remains t he staple of the Wax House. Despite

t he obvious beauty of the finished candles, the process of creating them is fairly easy for

most campers. As a result, the Wax House is always teeming with activity. Candle types that

campers create include ribbon candles, sand candles and sculpted candles. A resident wax artist

helps campers manage the “dipping” process, which involves continuously coating a candle’s wick with

layers of colorful wax.

Soap Making

Handmade soaps are fun to make and each one is a unique piece of art. Campers mix their color palette and design their own soap

using techniques like layering and curling. Campers use the “Melt and Pour” method and add wonderful things like botanicals, essential

oils and fragrances. Rose petals, lavender, poppy seeds and coffee not only look wonderful, but they help make skin healthy.

Campers also make lip balm from beeswax. Soapmaking excites all the senses in its practice but most of all it feels great to make

something beautiful that you can use. Great for all ages, campers learn to wrap and package soaps for gifts and for personal use.

Flameworking/Hot Glass

In this modern, fully equipped studio, an experienced glass worker instructs campers in the art of glass sculpting. Campers use

torches to melt colored glass rods. Once melted, campers shape and form the liquefied glass into small sculptures, utensils and

decorative marbles. Med-O-Lark’s trained staff works closely with the campers to en sure complete safety.

Stained Glass

Campers choose from an extensive variety of colored and textured glass to

make stunning works that reflect light, like only glass can. By using patterns

or creating their own designs, campers have the opportunity to create multiple

pieces, incorporating their own ideas into their work. Camper projects

include picture frames, candle holders, landscape wall hangings and sun

catchers.

Stone Carving

Using rough-hewn blocks of soapstone in this lake side studio, campers shape and carve beautiful creations

that will last forever. Campers create small sculptures, bowls, candlesticks, inter-locking paperweights, clocks,

sundials and much more.

Woodburning

A unique variation of Woodcarving, campers use pencil-like precision instruments to literally

burn sketch lines, incisions and final strokes into different species of wood to create everlasting

works of art. The tools for this activity are electric implements that provide just enough

heat to be able to burn detailed pictures and drawings into a variation of wooden items..

Woodcarving

A time-tested camp favorite, campers use exact-o knives to carve and decorate wood of all species, shapes and sizes. Oils,

pastels and water based paint for coloring and shading are available to enhance the creations. Many campers even design

frames to complete their work. Our Native American Art studio has quality instruction provided for proper teaching methods

as well as ample supervision.

Leatherworking

A time-honored handcraft synonymous with camp, campers learn to cut, shape, stitch, adorn, stain andenjoy their

creations in leather. Moccasins, pouches, boots, handbags, belts, are just some of the many finished products that are

manufactured in this studio. Supple elk-hide is most commonly used as the raw material for these projects. It is durable,

handsome and easy to work with. It absorbs oil based paint thoroughly, for easy and precise decoration and it is soft

enough to be stitched for practical uses.

Duct Tape

Oh the wonderful things made out of tape! Who knew the Handy-Man’s secret fix-all

is such a fabulous medium to create with? Bursting with an array of colors, campers

manufacture items as diverse as quilts, dresses, flip-flops, wallets, masks, hats, show

props and a million other items! Extremely fun and popular, Duct Tape Art has been

offered at Med-O-Lark since it’’s founding in 1967.

Waterfront Activities

From almost anywhere on the Med-O-Lark campus there is a view of Med-OLark’s

beautiful, crystal clear, three mile lake. The lake is the heart

of the camp’s extensive waterfront program. Med-O-Lark

campers enjoy a pristine and quiet lake. There is little

development on the lake’s banks, and there is no commercial

activity permitted on it. As a result, Med-O-Lark

has the good fortune of having nearly the entire lake

to itself for its activities. During the summer, the lake

reaches a refreshing 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Safety is the

top priority on Med-O-Lark’s lake. Certified lifeguards are

on duty at all times while campers are participating in waterfront

activities. In addition, Med-O-Lark employs a “buddy

system” whereby campers must always swim in pairs. While

at the waterfront, campers are subject to constant supervision

by lifeguards and instructors who have qualifications in Water Safety

Instruction and CPR/ First Aid. A diving board dock and slide dock frame the swimming

area. Swimming lessons are available for beginner swimmers. Med-O-Lark’s waterfront

program is outfitted with a full line of top-quality equipment to ensure fun, safe and educational

camper experiences.

Four Mastercraft speedboats are the workhorses behind the excellent waterskiing, wakeboarding

and knee-boarding program. With specialized equipment and individualized

instruction designed for first-time to advanced skiers, Med-O-Lark provides opportunities

for beginners to learn and for more advanced riders to perfect their techniques and learn

new tricks. Med-O-Lark offers sailing for the beginner with Sunfish and Hunters. Crew rowing

is offered in a five-person shell. A large number of kayaks and canoes are always in use

at camp. Med-O-Lark’s swimming area is equipped with a 14.5 ft. “iceberg”, a combination

climbing wall and slide, as well as a large water trampoline and diving board that provide

fun and excitement for all.

circus teachers. In addition to being enormously fun, Med- O -Lark’s flying trapeze and

circus program provide valuable skill development. For example, circus stunts combine

physical conditioning, balance and dexterity; perfect for dancers and athletes alike. In

addition, a successful aerial exhibition on the flying trapeze requires campers to trust others

and work as a team.

Evening Programs

Every night at Med-O-Lark is special. Med-O-Lark takes great pride in the quality and

variety of its unique Evening Programs. Each night, every Med-O-Lark camper is

involved in an Evening Program either as a participant or as a spectator. The staff

and campers work hard to create enormously fun and original activities that foster a

sense of community. Some of the most popular Evening Programs are staff and camper

talent shows, international nights that emphasize the discovery and exploration

of new cultures, sharing nights for promoting new friendships,

cabin nights for bonding with cabin mates, campfires for gathering

outdoors, special appearances by guest performers, luau nights, lake

cruises and the exciting Med-O-Lark Madness.

Special Events

Med-O-Lark has a long standing tradition of treating campers to a daylong celebration on

the 4th of July. Among other activities, campers enjoy a barbecue lunch and patriotic

reenactments. Halfway through each four week session, Internationally Day is held as a

celebration of our cultural diversity. At the end of each four week session, there are three full days of festivities for campers

to enjoy and celebrate their Med-O-Lark experience. There are several theater, dance, and musical performances, as

well as the formal opening of the Art Show. Parents are welcome to attend these activities. During these festivities, the

Carnival is held. Carnival begins with the Circus Show. Filled with color, excitement and fun, the Carnival is complete

with all traditional carnival activities, games, foods and rides. On the final night of each session, a traditional closing

Banquet, complete with delicious food, is enjoyed by all. The entire camp eats together on the main field. The night is as

fun as it is tasty. During the closing ceremonies, campers enjoy a slide show, a concluding campfire, and a very special

Candlelight Ceremony. On this special night, campers celebrate the Med-O-Lark community, their amazing summer

and, most importantly, the friends they have made who they will treasure forever.
