Camp Med-o-lark is an all genders arts sleep away camp in Washington, Maine for children ages 7–16, set on the shores of a pristine lake. Med-o-lark offers a fully elective program, allowing campers to design their own schedules from a wide range of activities including performing arts, fine arts, sports, circus, waterfront, and more. Each summer, Med-o-larkers come together to build a kind, creative community where everyone has the opportunity to discover, grow, create, learn, and shine. With a strong emphasis on the arts, Med-o-lark offers one of the most extensive programs in dance, fine arts, handcrafts, and theater of any camp in New England.

At our school we offer two unique options for the academic year: Full-Day and Half-Day programs. The Full-Day program runs from 8:30am to 2:50pm, and the Half-Day program runs from 8:30-12:00. Both programs cover the same curriculum, but the extra time of the Full-Day program allows us to expand the curriculum further and provide our students with Unified Arts daily. We believe that families of students in the Half-Day program should take advantage of this additional time with their child to participate in activities that promote social, physical, and educational growth. Examples of such activities can include trips to the public library, storytime, and arts and craft projects that focus on developing fine motor skills.

Our program fosters an attitude of respect for others. We have standards for self-control and encourage children to express themselves in a healthy way and develop a sense of competence. We believe that self-expression is essential for a child's growth and development. We promote a cooperative spirit, and children learn to work together to solve problems and make decisions. We emphasize positive reinforcement, and strategies for problem solving and conflict resolution. We also encourage children to be creative and explore their own interests. At Happy Hours, children are given the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. We provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore and learn. Through the use of our living and learning spaces, children can work on a variety of tasks and projects. We provide a variety of activities and materials to engage the children in meaningful experiences. Our program is designed to meet the needs of each individual child, while also providing opportunities to learn and grow in a group setting. We strive to create an environment where children can develop into confident, well-adjusted individuals.
