Waterfront Activities

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.
