Special Events

Med-O-Lark has a long standing tradition of treating campers to a day long celebration on the 4th of July. Among other activities, campers enjoy an authentic barbecue lunch and an elaborate fireworks display at dusk. At the end of each session, there are three full days of festivities for campers to enjoy and celebrate their Med-O-Lark experience. There are several theater, dance, and musical performances, as well as the formal opening of the Art Show. Parents are welcome to attend these activities. On the final day of these festivities, the Carnival is held. Filled with color, excitement and fun, the Carnival is complete with all traditional carnival activities, games, foods and rides. On the final night of each session, a traditional closing Banquet, complete with delicious food, is enjoyed by all. The entire camp eats together on the main field. The night is as fun as it is tasty. During the closing ceremonies, campers enjoy a slide show, a concluding campfire, and a very special Candlelight Ceremony. On this special night, campers celebrate the Med-O-Lark community, their amazing summer and, most importantly, the friends they have made who they will treasure forever.
