FOOD AT CAMP

What’s on the menu?

We know that campers have a variety of appetites, need nutritious food to fuel them for their day, and that everyone has a better time when they have satisfying meals in their bellies. We also know that at camp we can have some fun with meals and there is sometimes dessert after a meal and always TUCK (Totally Unnecessary Candy For Kids) for afternoon snack.

The menu at camp is simple, tasty and nutritious. Usually, there is an entree with an option or adaptation and there is always a selection of alternatives on our salad bar. Most meals are served family-style. Pictures of our Dining Hall and Kitchen can be found here.

Here are some examples of the types of food we serve:

Dietary Restrictions

It is the responsibility of the parent to notify the camp IN WRITING of any dietary restrictions AT LEAST ONE WEEK before the start of camp. If necessary, the Health Care Provider will contact you for more information so that we can provide the necessary accommodations. The Food Service Team will be informed of the restrictions, camper’s name and their cabin. If the restriction is an allergy, the Health Care Provider will ask the parent/guardian to complete an Emergency Action Plan for the camper which includes a photo of the camper, details of the camper’s reaction to the allergen, and response needed (eg. hospital, Benadryl, EpiPen).
