Camp in Washington, Maine offers family vacations

Medomak is a summer camp for the whole family

With consumer confidence low, household debt high and 401k accounts diminished, discretionary spending is grinding to a halt and families are thinking twice before spending their hard earned dollars on a family vacation.  Many want to avoid extra surcharges at the airport, extra expenses that add up at a resort or amusement park or the high cost of eating out and entertainment.   Families may not want to abandon vacations all together but they are certainly considering scaling back significantly.  So choosing how their family spends their down time together is an important one.  Families need to make it count in terms of leisure time, value, and quality time with their family.

Many families are finding an old concept that has been wonderfully updated, perfect for their active families.  The camp experience is a distinct American tradition. With more than 140 years of history, camp as we know it today has its roots deeply planted in American soil. Camp has always been a place where children could meet new friends, discover new interests and compete against their own abilities in the context of fun and games. And when updated to comfortably accommodate the whole family, all the benefits of camp become of even greater value.  In short, for those who are (or have been) lucky enough to experience camp, hooray! For those who have yet to look into camp for all its value, now is the climate to do it...and it is not out of reach financially for most families.

Medomak Camp, located in Washington, Maine, is a summer camp for families.  The way the facilities and programming are run offers the opportunity for new experiences as well as old pleasures.  Time for yourself, time as a family, and time to meet new friends highlight the week at Medomak.  The chance to reconnect without phones, faxes, TV or the internet pulling family members away is immeasurable.  In a time where our kids are growing and maturing quicker than ever, families are looking for ways to reconnect. Medomak is a perfect way to rekindle these bonds. 

The value of family camp is also well represented financially.  Here is the comparison to consider:  For less than the price of sending one child off for a session of camp (average of $4000-$5000), the entire family can attend a one week session of camp together (average of $2400-$4100).   The all-inclusive tuition is a breath of fresh air for parents.  They appreciate knowing the cost of their vacation upfront, aware there are no additional tips, taxes or surcharges.  Tuition includes 3 healthy chef prepared meals a day, lodging, counselor led instruction, and the use of all camp facilities including sailboats, kayaks, canoes and sculls as well as the opportunity to meet new people . 

Medomak Camp for Families and Adults offers an all-inclusive traditional summer camp experience at its facilities on Washington Pond in the mid-coast region of Maine.  For more information contact, David Brunner, Director, Medomak Camp;  family@medomakcamp.com or 1-866-633-6625. ###
