• Why Choose LifeCamp?

    • LifeCamp is a ninety-acre oasis of nature and kid-oriented facilities dedicated to growing healthy, happy children. Through LifeCamp, we reach the kids of Newark in time to make a difference, and in time to help them dream with a sense of opportunity and hope. 
    • We have miles of hiking trails, numerous playing fields, an Olympic-size swimming pool, and indoor facilities to serve our every need. The Lamington River, a source of constant activity, flows through the property.
    • Each summer day, this beautiful space is filled with smiling faces and laughter from the children whose lives are brightened here. Whether swimming, playing soccer, flying drones, reading, or experiencing the joys of biking and campfires, our campers get to be children—happy, spontaneous, and free from the burdens of the inner city.
    • A day’s activities could include arts and crafts, recording studio, computers, biking, dance, drama, mind games, physical education, and studying positive values.
    • LifeCamp is much more than a summer experience. As children learn to respect nature and understand their new environment, they also learn important lessons about self-respect and respect for others. Children gain a sense of accomplishment from their participation in camp activities, and they leave camp each day feeling good about themselves.
    • LifeCamp forms lasting memories, memories that sustain and nurture our youngsters as they meet the challenges of young adulthood.
