What is Family camp?

Family Camp is a special place where adults and children alike can learn new skills, share new experiences, make friends, and develop an appreciation for the outdoors. The Medomak experience is a hybrid between a traditional New England summer camp and an all-inclusive family vacation.

Medomak is small, but we like it that way. Each week we are proud of the camp community that is built and the lasting friendships that develop. We hope you will consider joining us and see why so many families return to Medomak Family Camp year after year.

You time. family time. community time.

ESTABLISHED IN 1904. REIMAGINED IN 1994.

In a world that is becoming more and more homogenized, it can be difficult to find a place with beauty, character, and antiquity; a place that welcomes new experience, yet has its own rich story to tell.

Originally started in 1904 as a farming camp for city boys, Medomak has been a place for adventure and exploration for over four generations.

Today, Medomak’s campus is home to three distinct but inter-connected entities: Medomak’s Family Camp which includes fields of stars rising above the lake with its own private lakeside sandy cove, a rental site on a knoll facing sunsets over the lake, and a one hundred acre expanse of warm blueberry fields, pristine lake shoreline and cool pine forest which enfolds the Medomak Retreat Center.

Testimonials

"A rare opportunity in today’s world to get away from screens and enjoy your family! Great times with archery, tennis, sailing, kayaking and more! Great family style meals including a lobster dinner! And even great adult activities like beer tasting and of course evening fires and s’mores. By far our favorite vacation. Ages 5-13 is their sweet spot but there is a nursery and even our 17-year-old had a great time!!"

"Medomak family camp- What a magnificent concept. It’s for Grandparents, too! To be with the ones you love most yet separate and apart. The setting, the other campers, an outstanding staff, and wonderful activities and food. A treasure. A great time. My last time at camp was 58 years ago! I enjoyed this even more!"
