sincerely believe that Camp Onaway played a huge role
in my daughters' lives at a very critical time.
The lessons they learned there - and the love and support
they received there - helped to shape them and guide
them. As a friend of mine said, "Kids need
positive influences outside the family" and that's
exactly what they got from Onaway.

Health
The health of each
child is always a first consideration at Onaway. A resident
nurse is in constant attendance, and a doctor, just five minutes
away, makes daily visits and is on twenty four hour call.
Plymouth Hospital, twelve miles away, is a well equipped,
modern hospital with an excellent staff.
The camp's infirmary is spacious, modern and
attractive with a four-bed ward, two private rooms, two full
baths, kitchen, dispensary, and nurses quarters. It
has a large, sunny porch for rest, and is near the main kitchen.
Nutritional guidance is available in the Dining
Hall for girls who wish to lose weight under supervision of
the nurse. Smaller portions are served, and fruit is
substituted for sweet desserts.
Table
Onaway is noted for
its good and ample table. The best foods are served,
fresh fruits are always available, and baking is done on the
premises. Our chef, Bruce McKenzie, makes an effort
to prepare food that appeals to young people and often fulfills
requests! Vegetarian entrees are always available.
Uniform
A camp uniform is required.
The outfit - which will be sent to you in a mailing before
camp begins - is all a girl needs in Camp and may easily be
packed in a foot locker. Most campers rent second hand
uniforms from the Camp's voluminous closet. New uniforms are available through Maine Camp Outfitters, http://shopping.maine-camp.com/youthcamps/index.asp, password onaway.
