Keep Well Camp is a non-profit camp that began as the Fresh
Air Focused Camp in 1924. We are located in historic Roosevelt
Park in Edison, NJ. Situated on a 15-acre wooded site, the
Camp provides open space for the campers to explore nature,
make friends, have fun and learn new things.
Over the past 80+ years, our mission has been to provide a
safe, positive and healthy residential camping experience
for disadvantaged children and seniors from Middlesex County.
The children we serve are economically, socially, or physically
at risk. We do not charge any participation fees. Children
between the ages of 6-13 years are selected by the school
nurse.
The Campers attend camp for a 12-day period at no cost to
their family. We also have a Counselor-In-Training program
for ages 14 & 15, and a summer camp program for senior
citizens ages 65 and older.
ABOUT OUR STAFF: Our counselors are selected
for their skills and education. Many come from local colleges
or from exchange programs with other countries. Registered
nurses staff the infirmary 24 hours a day. The administrative
staff is professionally educated and certified in camp administration.
We are accredited by the American Camping Association, and
licensed by the State Department of Health. |
