The Madden Camp places emphasis on healthy eating. The menus for all camp meals are developed with the input of a dietician, paying special attention to the nutritional needs of our camp population. All campers must have a physical examination no more than two months before camp. While the majority of campers come from the Northeastern United States, the Madden Camp is open to children from across the country and beyond. Attending Madden camp is free.
Parents are responsible only for the cost of transportation to and from camp.
