Kiddie Keep Well Camp began as a Fresh Air Focused Camp in 1924, and was renamed after Senator John E. Toolan, who served the people of New Jersey from 1933-1948. Dedicated to providing summertime fun and enjoyment to the less privileged children of Middlesex County, Kiddie Keep Well is the only camp of its kind in New Jersey and one of the oldest in the nation.

Located in Roosevelt Park, the Camp has room to accommodate 150 children at a time. There are two swimming pools, nine cabins, an administrative building, and a learning center.

Each summer the camp accepts about six hundred children, ages 7-15, from an applicant pool of 800 to 1000 children for one of four 11-day sessions at no cost to the families.

The camp asks school nurses to recommend students to the camp, and also receives referrals from guidance counselors, principals and the New Jersey Department of Youth and Family Services. We look for children who would not otherwise be able to attend a summer camp.

Children who attend the camp participate in activities like swimming, arts and crafts, sports, nature, campfires, dance and drama. We also hold fire-safety lessons, sessions on anger management, self-esteem and other character-building skills led by a social worker employed by the camp.

The Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, and licensed by the State Department of Health.
