Family camps can make a great summer vacation: parents and kids enjoy a full roster of activities, and kids programs, in the great outdoors; and price includes all the above plus meals.

Medomak Family Camp: location
Medomak Family Camp is a 3 hour drive from Boston, 90 minutes from Portland Maine, and 25 minutes from the ocean towns of Rockland, Camden and Belfast.

Medomak Family Camp: features

Medomak has over 250 acres including a mile of lake shoreline. Guests stay in pine one-room cabins with bathroom and shower: "simple, in the New England tradition." Reading lights, rocking chairs, beds for parents and kids, writing table, and adirondack chairs outside. Lake is a short walk away.

Grownups and kids can try over two dozen activities led by counselors: archery, sailing, fishing, arts and crafts, tennis, yoga... Even a Maine cheese & beer tasting.

Campers are broken into age groups ranging from Little Stars through Rising Suns for middle and high schoolers; adults are "High Clouds".

Kids are encouraged to take part in scheduled activities; grownups, meanwhile, can be as active or as do-nothing as they like. Recommended age for kids is five and up; but during morning activities kids two to four can participate in supervised preschool activities.
