We have created a second home for campers ages 8-16 to grow their artistic abilities and nurture their talents. Campers can design their own program and set their artistic goals in just one session.

Each day consists of six activity experiences with time a rest hour (we call “Chill Time”) before dinner. We also offer day trips, excursions, and special events that campers and staff create. There is also built-in time to play, be social, discover, relax, design, laugh, and breathe. By the end of their session(s), they are proud to share their creations with fellow campers, friends, and family. We offer (and continue to evolve) activities and experiences to promote self-expression, grow self-esteem, and build a foundation for lifelong creativity as they develop as young humans.
Situated on 50 acres within peaceful, natural surroundings in the Maine woods, Camp Med-o-lark is the ideal setting for personal expression and ensemble collaboration. Our camp is located on a gorgeous lakefront property that also houses a historic farm, creating a magical village that awakens the senses like few places can. It is an atmosphere filled with creativity, arts, music, Theatre, activities, energy, laughter, and fun, where friendships and memories form to last a lifetime.

Description:

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. Since 1980 Steve & Kate’s Camp has trusted kids to choose their own activities and plan their own days in real-time.

Families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. No weekly reservations or commitments required–just show up! If for any reason your plans change, they’ll automatically refund any unused Passes in full at summer’s end.
