‘A special camp for special kids’

-

Last summer, Camp Lee Mar ran a much shorter session with all the COVID-19 protocols in place. All our campers and staff did a wonderful job, and we were 100% COVID free.

This summer we plan to run our full summer session, and Camp Lee Mar will be celebratin­g its 69th season, a real milestone! Camp Lee Mar in Lackawaxen, Pike County, will actually be celebratin­g a number of milestones.

Ari Segal, the camp’s owner/director, will be celebratin­g his 29th season; academic coordinato­r Laura Leibowitz will be celebratin­g her 39th; and assistant director Lynsey Trohoske, will be celebratin­g her 24th.

Camp Lee Mar’s unique program combines all the fun traditiona­l camp activities — basketball, kickball, boating and fishing, soccer, arts and crafts — with academics, speech and daily living skills. Camp Lee Mar also has a therapeuti­c horseback riding program, a zip line and overnight trips.

The exceptiona­l facilities are highlighte­d by the superpopul­ar Junior Olympic heated pool and air-conditione­d buildings (including cabins).

The senior division campers talk all year about Social Dance, which we have every weekend, followed by the Senior Fling (Prom), which takes place in early August.

The Lee Mar L.I.F.E. Program (Living Independen­tly Functional Education) continues to be a huge success, and we again expect a waiting list in 2021!

The hallmark of Lee Mar’s program is our incredible, nurturing staff, all dedicated to working with children with special needs. Camp Lee Mar is truly “a special camp for special kids.”
