5 Message from our Directors! Welcome to our beautiful summer camps, located in the heart of the Pine Barrens in Medford, NJ. We have two sleepaway camps on our 800-acre property: Ockanickon for boys and Matollionequay for girls. Here, pristine lakes provide the perfect venue for swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing, and acres of lush pine forest offer the picture-perfect setting for outdoor living skills and earth education. Nowadays, kids spend too much time in front of screens TVs, smartphones, tablets and not nearly enough time outside. At camp, your child will spend adventurous days, disconnected from electronics, in a safe and friendly natural environment with amazing staff. They ll have the opportunity to acquire new skills, take new risks, establish lifelong friendships, develop independence and most importantly, PLAY. Our end-of-session goal is to send home a child who is happier and healthier in spirit, mind and body. Our big-picture goal is to help our campers develop confidence and character to eventually become leaders at camp and in the world. Kids need camp more than ever! For 112 years, families have entrusted us with the most important people in their lives their children and we take this awesome responsibility quite seriously. We will continue to strive to offer a positive, lifelong impact on each of our campers. We hope you consider investing in your children s development by joining our camp family for the summer of 2018! Matt Foran, Director of Ockanickon for Boys Gabrielle Ostroski, Director of Matollionequay for Girls An American Camp Associatio n (ACA) study found that kids who attend su mmer camp feel more successful, make new fri ends, gain new skills, get along better with ot hers and have a better idea of what they re go od at.
