Gold Arrow campers and staff enjoy three meals per day in our open-air dining porch overlooking Big Creek and the beautiful Sierras. We provide campers and staff with delicious, well-balanced meals and offer a variety of options at each meal. We believe great food is an important part of our camp experience.
Campers dine family-style while sitting with their cabin group and counselors. Kitchen Patrol (KP) gives campers an opportunity to help with the set up and clean up of their cabin’s table during meals. Counselors encourage good table manners and monitor that campers are eating well-balanced meals. Camp Moms check campers’ hands upon entering the dining porch to help ensure the health of our camp community.

Snacks are not provided throughout the day, however, campers enjoy marshmallows or popcorn at their nightly campfires. Campers requiring snacks between meals for medical reasons will be accommodated.
Birthdays
Birthdays are celebrated at Gold Arrow Camp! If your child’s birthday falls during their camp session, a decorated birthday cake is made in their honor and is shared with their cabin group. The camper is seated on a chair and lifted up by counselors as everyone on the dining porch sings Happy Birthday. A picture documents the special occasion and is posted in the on-line photo gallery.
Food Allergies
If your child has a food allergy and you have questions regarding our accommodations for that particular allergy, please call our camp office at (800) 554-2267. We inform our kitchen staff, nurses, and counselors of camper allergies.
