Is there snack available?
Yes. Two snacks are given out daily. The snack alternate between fruit, cookies and chips.
What if my child doesn’t like the lunch being served?
Occasionally a child will not like the lunch being served at camp that day. A nut-free and dairy-free substitute is available each day in case this happens. Tuna, cream cheese or jelly with whole wheat bread are always available should the need arise. A prepared lunch from home may be sent as long as it is nut-free.
Is the camp a nut-free facility?
 
Yes. Our lunches are made in a nut free facility.  Our snacks are nut free but it’s not always possible to find snacks that do not contain traces of nuts, so if your child is sensitive to that, she should bring her own snacks.
