Check with the group leader for weekday times. Saturday times are  8:30, 12:30 and 5:00. Sunday continental breakfast is served at 8:30. Please be on time for meals. Your host will give directions on family style service.  We serve in a communal dining hall, shared with other groups on camp.  Special dietary needs, such as vegetarian, allergy or kosher meals can be arranged by contacting the Food Service Manager in advance.

Kitchen Rental

Your group may seasonally rent our commercial kitchen with dining hall to do your own meals.  We also have housing areas with kitchens, and others with kitchenettes.

Most groups bring their own snacks, which can be stored in the Dining Hall refrigerator.  Camp will provide snacks and beverages at an additional charge, when arranged in advance.

Coffee and tea

Coffee and tea are available during kitchen hours in the open dining hall.

Camp Store

The camp runs a small store in the gym building.  It stocks candy, t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, flashlights, postcards and toiletries.  Hours by appointment.

Pop and Juice machines

Beverage machines with dollar bill changers are located to the right of the gym entry, and are available 24 hours a day.

Recycling

To help us reduce waste and help protect our environment, we ask that at the end of your stay, you please bring your separated plastic, tin aluminum and glass recyclables to the recycling centers behind each kitchen and below the Reception Center.
