Food and Meals

The Glass Lodge (Dining Hall) is where souls and bodies are fed. It is filled with laughter, singing, and great conversations. Campers and staff enjoy 3 meals per day and an evening snack. We strive to serve healthy kid-friendly food. In addition to the main course, there is always a full cereal/oatmeal bar at breakfast and a full salad bar at every lunch and dinner, along with side dishes.

Campers who have food allergies or special dietary needs are welcome. Our kitchen staff works hard to ensure all campers’ needs are met. Just give us a call so we can learn more about your camper prior to arrival. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are all available. Food allergies are handled on an individual basis. Dietary restrictions and allergies should be noted on your camper’s health form.
