Description For Prospective Staff:
Camp Lee Mar, located in the heart of the beautiful Pocono Mountains
near the Delaware River in Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania, is celebrating its 58th season. The camp is about 90 miles from New York City, 2 & 1/2 hours from Philadelphia.
Camp Lee Mar is considered by parents and educators as one of the finest camps for children with special-needs in the United States.
Lee Mar is a special place for children with mild and moderate developmental challenges between the ages of 5 and 21. Campers enjoy all the fun activities of a traditional summer camp while being encouraged to continue to learn and grow with special programs and teaching methods that emphasize academics, speech and language therapy, vocational preparation, and daily living skills.
Camp Lee Mar was the first special needs camp in the United States to inaugurate such a unique play-and-learn program, which was developed after careful study and practical research.
Campers participate in all the activities one would expect to find at any camp of this caliber. Swimming, football, baseball, nature study, arts and crafts, dancing, movies, campfires, painting, music, overnight trips, and much more are featured. All buildings are air-conditioned, the pool is heated, the food is delicious and there is a lake for fishing and boating.
Nurses have their own private room and private bathroom.
