Frequently Asked Questions about Food
 |
What kind of food is available? Lunches are not provided at Camp
Crossroads. Daily, you should pack a lunch
that can sit in the open air (we’ll do our best to keep it out of the direct
sun). Send morning and afternoon snacks too -- it's a long, hungry day!
The Arrows, Magpies and Catapults will cook meals during their late night/overnight. Girls will
vote on their menu on-line before camp begins. The menus are planned using the
information provided on the health history form taking into account medical and
cultural needs.

| My daughter is a vegetarian . . . will you be able to accommodate her?
Absolutely! Be sure to check "special dietary needs" on the health form
and provide details in the comments -- don't just say "vegetarian"! Give
us specific details such as "doesn't eat beef, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese",
etc. This also applies to food allergies, cultural or religious food
requirements, lactose intolerance, etc. Don't give us a label!
Experience has shown us that the labels mean different things to different
people. Tell us what food she should not or must not eat. |
| My daughter has severe food allergies . . . will this be a problem?
Not with a little help from mom or dad! In addition to the meals
mentioned above, campers make ice cream sundaes, win Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans
(jelly beans), eat watermelon and eat their creations in the cooking center. If your
daughter has severe or extensive food allergies or restrictions you might get a
call from her unit leader, the cooking center leader and the camp first aider
asking for additional information or clarification!
In some cases, we may ask the family to provide substitute food items for
their daughter.
