What are we feeding the campers?

You might be wondering about that. Well I can tell you that Mr and Mrs Krueger go to a lot of trouble to ensure that the campers get a varied and wide selection of nutritious food every day. Every meal has lots of vegetables and salad. In fact campers have to eat either vegetables for salad at lunch and dinner. There is always an extra salad bowl and lots of additional salad items like eggs, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, peppers etc. Salad dressings are all home-made and there are at least 5 different ones available at every meal. Homemade bread is also available at every meal. The campers and staff are very well fed.  Also for anyone considering being a worker next year (and more workers will be needed if we have 2 PYC sessions) you can eat all your meals with the campers.

For Breakfast there are always eggs (usually scrambled), hashbrowns and sausage in addition to Cheerios, home-made granola, yogurt, fruit, bread, orange juice and various condiments.

For Lunch and Dinner there is always a main meat dish with side and vegetables plus salad (compulsory) and soup (lunch only). Deserts are served on the weekend. During camp so far some of the dishes have been: Lasagne, Chipotle chicken, Chicken stir-fry and rice, Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, Quesedias, Parmesan chicken, Sphagetti and meatballs and lots more I can't remember right now! There has been something different every day.

In addition there are snack packs given if there are evening activities and packed lunches for offsite events like the rock climbing trips this week. 

So you can be assured that your precious sons and daughters are being given excellent nutrition while at camp and they are not allowed to not eat! We truly enjoy serving them.

  2. Hi Karen, I know it's a blend of 17 organic herbs that she mixes herself but I'll ask her for the specifics. It tastes good.
