Founded in 1967 as a non-competitive, non-traditional arts camp, Camp Med-o-lark opened its arms to the creative, the curious, and the free-spirited. Building on the founding, we encourage and embrace inspiration, experience, collaboration, imagination, individualism, equity, and inclusion. 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.

Camp Wildfolk is a child-centered day camp with 3 locations: West Hollywood, East Valley (Valley Village), and a new West Valley location (Encino). Wildfolk is project-based and truly unique- offering a balanced blend of structure and choice, with activities and staff campers are wild about!
The spirit infused throughout camp feels “old school,” yet grounded in a mindful and intentional way of supporting and guiding children. Camp Wildfolk’s caring, silly, and wildly fun Guides are often cited as the #1 reason campers return year after year.
Wildfolk offers a variety of programs to tailor many age groups. Their main camp hosts 1st-7th graders with exciting electives and teambuilding opportunities. Campers choose 3 electives for each two-week “Classic” session: something active, something brainy, and something artsy.

Their specialized Young Folks program for rising Pre-K, TK, and Kinders sells-out early every year. The Guides-in-Training (GIT) program offers leadership opportunities for tweens and teens (7th-10th grade).

New this year are specialty one-week Makers Camps: Messy Makers (cooking + science), Mini-Mansions (dollhouse-style designing), and Board Games (creating their very own games to take home). Plus, they offer a few Adventure Camps to provide big thrills for kids looking to go on awesome field trips!

Wildfolk is well organized, thoughtful, highly communicative, and kid’s favorite camp to return to year after year. They offer Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer programs (plus parties!). Get Wild!

At Mixon Musical Theatre NonProfit Day Camp, we believe the best way for your child to grow is through the magic of performing a show! Each summer, we immerse campers in the world of theater, where they act, sing, dance, design sets, and manage props—all while learning exciting skills like aerial silks, visual arts, and even mindfulness through yoga and meditation. Our unique approach blends technical theater with creative expression, ensuring every child has the chance to shine and take pride in the process. Over the course of 3 weeks, campers will rehearse and perform James and the Giant Peach the Musical – songs written by the composers of The Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen. Culminating in a spectacular show that showcases their hard work and growth, kids and parents alike can take pride in their creative and collaborative abilities. Join us for an unforgettable summer where kids not only learn but thrive in the world of theater!

Before and After Care available for added convenience!

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. Whether campers are designing, building, coding, creating, baking, dancing, playing, eating, sewing, skipping—it’s all on their own schedule. Because when you empower children to make their own choices and be their own bosses, the children discover new reserves of confidence, resiliency, and creativity–all while learning to make course corrections and trust themselves as they go.

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.

Ages: 4–12 | Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) included.
