More Info 		The camp menu is one that emphasizes kid-friendly food and well balanced nutrition. Snacks are served three times daily and include yummy and healthy treats such as frozen bananas and peanut butter, frozen grapes, yogurt tubes, nuts, cheese, good ol' rainsins and peanuts and popsicles. Meals are also served three times daily. Special emphasis is placed on high fiber foods, including fruits and vegetables at every meal, as well as little to no partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Campers are encouraged to make healthy choices and are welcome to take seconds from our carbohydrate- free zone which includes cottage cheese, salads, peanut butter, vegetables, and sunflower seeds. Special treats of the week include rice crispie squares and home made cookies from scratch, and sugar free snow cones. A dietitian is on site for the entire summer to ensure that the nutritional needs of each of our campers are being met, and to offer formal diabetes education in carbohydrate counting and meal planning.
