Welcome Back!

A place that stays with you

There are places we visit, and there are places that become part of us. Camp Marist is one of those places. Long after the summers ended, after the bags were unpacked and the cabins emptied, something stayed with you. It lives in your memories, in your friendships, and in the person you became. Camp was never just a few weeks of the year. It was a feeling of belonging, of being known, and of being part of something bigger than yourself.

You are part of an ongoing story

As an alum, you are part of a story that continues to unfold every single summer. New campers arrive, many of them feeling the same excitement and uncertainty you once felt. They learn to be brave. They learn to be independent. They learn how to live in community. Most importantly, they discover that camp can become a home. The traditions you lived, the songs you sang, and the friendships you built are still alive today, passed from one generation to the next.

Friendships that last a lifetime

What makes Camp Marist truly special has always been its people. The friendships formed here have a way of lasting far beyond camp. They become the friends who know you at your core, who shared your childhood, and who walked alongside you during some of your most formative moments. Even if years have passed, there is an instant connection when alumni return. You realize that you were, and always will be, part of this family.

You will always belong here

Being an alum means you will always belong here. Whether you visit camp again, attend an alumni event, follow along from afar, or simply carry your memories with you, you remain an important part of the community. Camp Marist is not only a place you came from. It is a place you can always return to, in person or in spirit. No matter where life takes you, camp remains a part of you.

Giving back what camp gave you

Many alumni feel a deep sense of gratitude for what camp gave them. Camp helped build confidence. It created lifelong friendships. It offered a place to grow, to try new things, and to discover who you were. For countless campers, it became one of the most meaningful experiences of their lives. Today, you have the opportunity to help ensure that future campers can experience that same gift. Donate Now!

Opening the door for future campers

Through the generosity of alumni, Camp Marist is able to provide scholarships to families who would otherwise not have the opportunity to send their children. These scholarships open the door for campers to find friendship, belonging, and confidence in the same way you once did. A gift of any size helps make that possible. It is a way to give back to a place that gave so much to you, and to help create memories that will last a lifetime for someone else.

You are part of camp’s future

Supporting camp is not only about preserving buildings or programs. It is about preserving the experience. It is about making sure that a child who needs camp can find their place here. It is about continuing a tradition that has shaped generations. Your connection, your presence, and your support help ensure that the spirit of camp continues to grow.

Welcome home

No matter how much time has passed, camp is still yours. You will always have a place here. You will always be part of this story. And you will always be welcome home.
