ACCESS: Meadowlark is comfortable and compact (only a few hundred yards between cabins and dining/music buildings) but relatively rustic; the ground is unpaved and rough in places, and walking between buildings is required. Most, but not all buildings have access ramps.   Please contact the director if mobility/access is a potential problem for you.

AGE POLICY: technically speaking, Meadowlark is a camp for adults.  However, young folks are occasionally permitted to attend as well, mostly if they are children of staff.  There are no extra programs or supervision options available for children, but if they are mature enough to attend workshops and programs along with adults, exceptions can sometimes be made. If interested, please inquire well ahead of time.
