Summer Food Service Program

Summer Food Service Program

We provide all of our campers with nutritious meals that include vegetarian and gluten free options. Each day breakfast, lunch and snack is made fresh in our on-site kitchen facility and transported to Alumni Hall. We try as often as possible to source our ingredients from our garden or from the farm. We strive to provide delicious foods that everyone will enjoy but if your camper will not eat what is being served you can send an alternative meal. Please keep in mind that we are a peanut free facility.

Our multi-purpose building (fittingly named Alumni Hall) was constructed in 2017. Finally, all of our day campers were able to gather together in one place for indoor activities including movies, arts and crafts, drama and music.

In addition to the large common room, the new building also has the following features:

  • Audio visual projector and screen
  • Changing area with cubbies
  • Day Camp Field Office
  • Kitchen
  • Nurses’ Suite
  • Stage (portable)
  • Storage


Since the building is located directly behind the Day Camp pool, campers no longer need to use makeshift changing rooms at our pavilion. Increased numbers of bathrooms and lockers will make camper life better!

Thank You to Our Counselors & Support Staff!
