Why Families Choose a No-Pressure Overnight Camp

During the school year, many children experience:

  • Academic pressure

  • Social comparison

  • Competitive sports

  • High expectations

Families often tell us they are looking for a no-pressure summer camp where their child can simply be themselves.

At Med-o-lark, campers experience a calm, supportive sleepaway camp without competition. They explore arts, waterfront activities, nature, and community living in a setting that prioritizes emotional safety and connection.

A no-pressure overnight camp offers something many children deeply need: space to grow without stress.

One of the things families love most about us is that we’re a close-knit, independently-run camp — and you’ll always have a line to our directors.
