IN-CAMP

When kids are in camp, meals are served "family style" (large dishes are passed around the table for the groups to share) in Reeve Hall. Campers always choose what they want to eat and how much. Meals are based on good nutrition and the likes of today's youth. A typical in-camp meal menu may look like this:

Breakfast:

french toast w/syrup

bacon

fresh fruit

juice

milk

water

cereal options

bagels w/cream cheese

Lunch:

grilled cheese

tomato soup

fresh fruit

vegetables

milk

juice

water

Dinner (Supper)

spaghetti and sauce

garlic bread

fresh vegetables

salad

dessert

milk

On The Trail

On outdoor adventure trips our campers participate in creating the menus and meals they will carry with them. Many of the meals out on the trail are cooked over camp stoves or campfires. Though only the counselors manage the camp stoves, all campers participate preparing, cooking and cleaning for each meal. A trip menu may look like this:

Breakfast

pancakes

dried fruit

tang/gatorade

hot chocolate/cider

Lunch

tortillas with peanut butter and jelly

beef jerky

granola bars

fresh fruit

gatorade/fruit juice

water

Dinner (Supper)

pita pizzas with toppings

carrot sticks and dip

s'mores/dessert

hot chocolate/cider

Other trail options include pasta and rice dishes, energy bars, homemade granola, flat bread, meat jerky and other easy to pack items. Counselors always role model and encourage healthy nutrition at Camp.
