Health and Safety

When your child is at Madawaska, you are assured that safety is our first priority. We take every precaution to ensure the well being of your camper. At Madawaska, accident and emergency procedures are established and implemented. Moreover, the ratio of campers to counsellors is controlled to provide optimum conditions for safety.

Our health care facilities are well equipped and well staffed, providing an expert medical team available to your child at all times. Our Madawaska medical staff are a well-rounded team which includes a doctor and/or nurse practitioner, registered nurses and athletic therapists. 


We pride ourselves on being a teaching facility working with nursing and atheltic therapy students to further develop their skills in their chosen career path. 


Should the need ever arise for care beyond our facilities, we are within 50 kms of two hospitals.

We seek to ensure a safe and healthy stay at camp, but in the case of an unexpected accident or illness, MASH, our camp’s Health Centre, will contact you.


MASH will call to inform you of any significant medical situations that have occurred at camp. 


For minor medical issues we do not contact the camper’s family. 

Food

We are spoiled at Camp Madawaska.  Our Kitchen Staff goes above and beyond to create a variety of hot, healthy meals three times a day PLUS an evening snack for both campers and staff.


Oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, cold cereal, and hard-boiled eggs are available everyday at breakfast in addition to the main meal.


Every day at lunch (except on BBQ days) we offer a salad bar with unlimited quantities of fresh ingredients and an assortment of dressings.


Homemade soups are offered at lunch and dinner – vegetarian when the main course served is meat. Our soups are never made with MSG.


Each day we serve one “sweet” dessert (often freshly baked in the Madawaska kitchen) and one fruit dessert.

We can accommodate most special dietary needs when informed prior to each camper’s arrival (noted on our pre-camp Health Forms). 


At the first meal in the dining hall, we will introduce campers to our chef and kitchen staff. They will be able to answer any food-related questions campers may have. 


We are a nut-aware facility and we have separate toasters for our gluten-free campers and staff. 

A Typical Day

What does a typical day look like?

Sample Daily Schedules are given in our Family Handbook

Tuck Shop

Our Tuck Shop is available for the purchase of various items including snacks, drinks and clothing. Campers pre-load their Tuck Shop account with a Credit Card prior to camp, and unspent balances are returned to the card after camp.


Our price list is emailed to families prior to camp.


You can add funds to your account prior to or during camp by emailing info@madawaskacamps.com

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@madawaskacamps.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

  • We have observed that campers spend approx. $75 per week in the Tuck Shop.


  • We do NOT encourage keeping money in the cabins. Tuck Shop camper accounts must be pre-loaded using a Credit Card before camp either at the time of registration or by emailing info@madawaskacamps.com.
  • Depostied money is reimbursed back to the credit card after camp if not used.


  • Absolutely! If you have any worries or concerns, please feel free to call or email us so we can have our section leaders track your child and provide an update to his or her status and comfort level. The campers will not be allowed to call home unless there is an emergency or if the head staff deems it necessary.
  • We view this week as a growth period for your child both physically and emotionally and we appreciate your support in this area. Of course you are the best informed of your child’s personality and well-being, we appreciate the opportunity to use you as a resource should we feel a need.
  • We are passionate about helping our campers adjust to the residential camp environment and are motivated to helping them have the very best summer camp experience! Our email address is:info@madawaskacamps.com


  • Yes! All two-week campers and staff will be asked to pack their clothing in camp-provided laundry bags for cleaning.  
  • Please be sure to label all clothing prior to arrival at camp.


  • Yes! All campers are required to bring a pair (or two) of running shoes for non-beach activities.


  • For the safety of all campers, all medication (prescription and over-the-counter) must be stored with our camp nurse for proper dispensing. 
  • Should your child be required to carry an epi-pen or puffer with them at all times, the camp nurse and cabin counsellor should be notified and prepared to assist your child if necessary.


  • The camp grounds are used by our sister Camp Walden from the end of June until mid-August.  Therefore, we only have those two weeks to provide our programs. 
  • Additionally, because we draw the top club and university coaches from across the province, they are usually only able to dedicate one week out of the summer to our camp.


  • Campers are guaranteed ONE cabin friend request PROVIDED that the request is mutual by the other party.


  • All cabin friend requests should be entered at the time of registration.  We will honour new requests or changes prior to July 1 if emailed to info@madawaskacamps.com.
