Health & Nutrition

At Camp Marist, our goal is to provide good, nutritious and well-balanced meals that campers love.  And from what we hear from our campers, we’re doing a good job. Our chefs are Serve Safe Certified and have been with us for over 5 years making sure our campers are well taken  care of.
We have fresh fruit available at every meal, a salad bar, sandwich bar, and pasta alternatives, fresh-baked rolls, cakes, muffins, and cookies – and a lot more. Special diets and allergies are also closely monitored with assistance from our medical staff.

We serve meals buffet style in our newly refurbished dining hall, along with all camp cookouts every Saturday at the picnic grove down by the lake.

Camp Marist supports a well-equipped Health Lodge which is staffed by experienced registered nurses and/or nurse practitioners with appropriate credentials and certifications.  The nursing staff provides individualized health care as well as emergency care for the campers.  Nurses manage chronic illness problems and dispense medications as needed.  Supportive measures to maintain optimal health is the focus. The responsibilities of nurses include preventive health care for the campers, including sunburn prevention, health teaching regarding nutrition, hydration, homesickness and other important concerns.

Camp Marist maintains a nursing staff of 2-3 nurses for all camp sessions.  There is always a nurse present on campus and available to intervene for all types of health care situations.   Nurses  maintain a collaborative relationship with staff from Ossipee Family Practice and Huggins Hospital.
