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.

Ensuring children have access to nutritious meals and snacks when school is not in session.
