At Gold Arrow Camp, we strive to offer a variety of options at every meal. In addition to the main entrees being served, we offer ample a la carte options to accommodate most food preferences and dietary restrictions.
Daily offerings, in addition to the meal being served, include:
- Breakfast: yogurt, fruit, cereal, oatmeal, bagel and toast to order
- Lunch: salad bar with protein options, sandwich bar, fruit, 1-2 soup choices
- Dinner: salad bar with protein options, pasta bar, fruit
By taking advantage of our salad bar (lunch and dinner), sandwich bar (lunch), and pasta bar (dinner), most campers and staff can find nutritious food items to accommodate their dietary preferences and/or allergies.
Special dietary needs (Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, etc.) need to be specified on the health form prior to camp attendance so that we can alert counseling and/or food service staff to any allergies or needs.
If your child has highly specialized dietary needs or preferences or severe food allergies, please consult with a Director prior to submitting a Camper Application.
Our meals are served buffet style, with two food service lines serving our main meal offerings (what’s on the menu), as well as a variety of other offerings that are not on the main food service lines that our vegetarian and vegan campers and staff can choose from. When menu entrees contain gluten or dairy, an allergy-friendly option is offered on the left line (which also has all of the main options).
When campers are out of camp and not being served by our Main Camp kitchen (while at Shaver Island, backpacking, or while traveling to and from camp), there are not as many food options available.
Depending on your camper’s specific needs, and in cases of a highly selective eater or an extremely restrictive diet, it may be advisable for you to send a small supply of supplemental food items, discussed with our Food Service Manager prior to attendance.
If you have additional questions regarding our menu, food service or your specific dietary needs, including food allergies, please contact our office at (800) 554-2267 or by email to speak with a camp representative.
