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.
