LifeCamp is a fun and educational summertime experience for children and teens from greater Newark, teaching skills for life and school, and supported by donations as a non-profit organization. Since 1923, we have hosted urban young people on 90 acres of rural countryside on the Lamington River, with fields, forest, a large swimming pool, and classrooms. Campers learn swimming and biking, sports, social and computer skills, music, and life values, among other subjects. Camp lasts six weeks each July and August, with three two-week sessions for about 300 young people ages 6 to 13. Campers come from public schools and charter school programs in greater Newark (including KIPP, Philip's, North Star, Link, Newark Legacy and New Horizon). Tuition is held to a minimum by the support of our generous donors (LifeCamp is a tax-free, 501(c)(3) organization).
