Camp Marcella

Call Directions Website

Camp Marcella is a sleep-away summer camp designed to serve children and adults of differing needs So NJCBC began recruiting the right people for the right job.

Camp Marcella is the facility designed and owned by the NJ Camp for Blind Children (NJCBC) incorporated, a non-profit organization started in 1947. At that time a casual type of camp facility existed, but to many parents it lacked the advantages of a complete camping experience. With the physical work and contributions of over 1300 organizations and individuals including the Lions clubs of New Jersey , Camp Marcella opened its gates that very summer, and has been going strong since! Today Camp Marcella comprises over 200 acres of woodland surroundings and a clear fish laden lake, with all of its facilities designed for the best possible care of children and teens with blindness, visual impairments and special needs. The camp is located in one of the few areas of New Jersey that has not been touched by suburban sprawl. Camp is adjacent to the Pequannock Watershed, Farny State Park and a large Boy Scout Reservation. The combination of abundant wildlife, woods, lakes and serenity brings campers to an idyllic setting. The objective of NJ Camp for Blind Children Inc. is to provide, promote and maintain a recreational, educational and rehabilitative camp primarily for visually impaired and multiple-challenged children and adults. Camp Marcella is a State Project of New Jersey Lions MD-16.
