During the month of July, Medford Lakes Colony offers a day camp for Medford Lakes children ranging from preschool through 8th grade. Children enjoy activities including arts and crafts, swimming, canoeing, field games, and music that they bike to throughout the town depending upon their age. All children must have a parent or grandparent with a current membership to attend.

Notice
NJ State Code requires Youth Camps, like the MLC Summer Camp, to have every registered camper’s immunization record on file.
The NJ Health Department also allows us to accept valid medical and religious exemptions.
At your earliest convenience, if you have not done so already, please drop off, fax, email, or mail a current copy of your camper’s immunization records to the Colony Office – thank you for helping us be compliant!
