Camp Lee Mar is a special camp for special kids

- For MediaNews Group

Camp Lee Mar is so proud of its staff and campers. Last summer we ran a full summer in a bubble.

All of our campers and staff did a wonderful job, and we were 100% COVIDfree.

This summer we plan to run our full summer session, and Camp Lee Mar will be celebratin­g its 70th season, a real milestone!

During the summer of 2022, Camp Lee Mar will actually be celebratin­g a number of milestones. Ari Segal, the camp’s owner/ director, will be celebratin­g his 30th season; academic coordinato­r Laura Leibowitz will be celebratin­g her 40th; and assistant director Lynsey Trohoske will be celebratin­g her 25th.Wow!

We are so excited for this summer. Camp Lee Mar’s unique program combines all the fun traditiona­l camp activities — basketball, kickball, boating & 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 facilities are exceptiona­l, highlighte­d by the super-popular Junior Olympic heated pool and air-conditione­d buildings (including cabins).

Camp Lee Mar holds many special events each summer: the Fourth of July celebratio­n, Western Night, Carnival Day and the Lee Mar Olympics, to name just a few.

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 2022.

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 “s special camp for special kids.”
