Kids there enjoy organic spinach, roasted local vegetable melts, and organic black bean nachos.

Chef Telepan’s vision for the future

• A fresh salad bar with fruit compotes in every cafeteria.

• Roasted chicken instead of chicken patties.

• Replacing taco meat with vegetarian chili (in burritos or as a rice topping).

• Fitness and sports programs in every school.

Camp Lee Mar

A private 7 week residential summer program offering a unique curriculum incorporating a strong Academic and Speech program with traditional camp activities. Our campers flourish at Lee Mar due to the structured environment we provide which allows our campers to feel comfortable and secure. Careful study is made of parent input, school (IEPs), camper interview, etc., so that the interests and needs of each child can best be determined for suitable grouping prior to the camper arriving. At Lee Mar the children find comfort and friendship with children of similar age and functioning level. From this foundation we encourage our campers to embrace and learn new skills and have new experiences which they can build upon on their return home. We also focus on building friendships which last throughout the year, as well as learning how to cope with the dynamics of group situations. Development of the whole child is our goal. We work hard at improving the daily living, social, and life skills of our campers, while giving them the happiest summer of their lives!
