""What a delightful week! Friendly helpful counselors, wonderful food and something for everyone - from my 1-year old daughter to my (no age) self - All in a beautiful idyllic setting. We generally don't vacation in the same place twice, but if I were a betting gal, I'd bet we'll see Medomak again! Thanks to all."

""Our family included my wife, her parents, our two sons, and an aupair new to this country. The experience was a great one, especially for the kids and their mother. The staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful. The accomodations are primative but adequate. The food was very good. The value is here as no other money has to be spent. Even a brown bag lunch is provided on campers day to explore. I highly recommend."" |

""What was selected as an extended family trip for my parents 50th anniversary turned out extreamly well. It is hard to find a spot to engage my 75 year old father as my 5 year old nephew, but it happened here. It is the natural , green beauty and quiet lack of commercialism that struck me here. Don't feel you have to take in all the activities; explore. Look inside yourself, away from work and the world, and find a piece of your personal soul that you forgot or didn't know was there."" |

All my fond memories of summer camp came flooding back. I asked my kids if they wanted to come back next year and the response was a very loud, "Yes, of course we do!" Medomak has definately touched our family and we will be here next summer!" |

"Medomak is a very special place. We have traveled to Maine for the past 15 years and have not experienced "inland" Maine like this before. The staff and activities allowed our family the opportunity to have fun together yet also enjoy time on our own.
Today's hectic pace and lifestyle of most families does not allow for much regular quality time outdoors. Medomak offers a venue where families can reconnect, nuture themselves, and renew. It is a fun place to play games and feel carefree.
As we wind down our summer and begin to gear up for another school year, we will fondly remember Medomak for its beauty and simplicity. Thank you for a wonderful week!" |

"We heard about Medomak through Frommer's Budget Travel Magazine- they said it was one of the best family camps in the nation and we can see why! The kids love the fun and independence here (which they often do not enjoy at home) and the parents like having a break without having to worry about the kids. Our 11 year old daughter asked me to write," I loved it, I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!" Thanks Medomak we're glad we found you!" |

"We really love our vacations at Medomak. Everyone feels so relaxed and friendly, and there are so many fun yet simple activities to look forward to. The kids love being with other kids their own age, and the adults can participate in their own activities or just hang out. Lazy afternoons at the lake include kayaking, swimming, reading and watching the kids have fun. The nights around the campfire are special with singing songs, telling stories, watching the kids perform, listening to the loons and counting the shooting stars. The food is always good and the staff make everyone feel at home. We treasure our time at Medomak for family memories that will last a lifetime." |

Never has such a happy and flexible group of employees been consistently assembled in one place!" |
