Mont Lawn Camp 2025 Health & Safety

Mont Lawn Camp 2025 Health & Safety

Mont Lawn Camp has an onsite nurse, who oversees the medical needs of campers and counselors.

As an accredited member of the American Camping Association, we uphold the highest health and safety standards. Our licensed nurse oversees our 24-hour Health Center, notifying parents and ensuring quick emergency response and transportation to nearby medical facilities if necessary.

 

 

Since 1894, the purpose of Mont Lawn Camp has been the same: to give New York City's children a break from the city and to help them grow and change in a safe environment. Situated in the Poconos Region of Pennsylvania, Mont Lawn Camp is a 200-acre summertime haven for children in underserved neighborhoods. After their camp experience, campers return home refreshed, renewed and possessing newfound confidence and character. Our hope is that each child will encounter Jesus in a life-transforming way and will stay connected through year-round programs in New York City through Mont Lawn City Camp.
