Campers are welcome to bring their own lunch that is nut free. Refrigeration will
not be provided for Summer 2022. Lunches should be packed in a soft lunch bag and clearly labeled with the camper’s name.
You also have the option to purchase a kid-friendly lunch provided by the camp. If you would like to buy lunch for your child, there will be a form to do so, and you will need to purchase lunch by the week ($45/week). Each day there is a Hot & Cold (nut-free) lunch option prepared and packaged in our commercial kitchen right on the premises. Our kitchen is run by professionals that work with children during the school year. In addition to the hot and cold options that are on the menu each day, the kitchen staff tries to accommodate all major allergens with a prior weeks notice. Gluten and dairy free options are available daily.
In addition to the hot option for each day, these following options are also available daily:
1) Sun Butter and Jelly Sandwich w/ yogurt & fruit
2) Plain Bagel and Cream Cheese w/ yogurt & fruit
3) Grilled Cheese w/ yogurt & fruit
4) Buttered Pasta (Marinara on the side), Parmesan Cheese, Garlic Bread w/fruit
5) Oven Roasted Turkey on Wheat Bread, Real American Cheese, with fruit and vegetable sticks
Our Full Day (K - 6th) campers eat outside each day. On rainy days, the campers eat in our Dining Room. The 3 and 4 year olds eat their snack and lunch in their home-base classrooms. Each group of campers eats together and the Counselors eat with their campers.
Campers need to bring their own water bottle to camp. Drinking water throughout the day is encouraged by all of our staff. Campers can bring/pack a drink in their lunch bag.
FOOD ALLERGIES
Many parents choose Tenacre specifically because of the precautions we take to protect children with allergies. We are an allergy aware camp, and many of our campers have food allergies, and life-threatening allergies to peanuts/treenuts. If a camper has an EpiPen for his/her food allergy, the camper's lunch will be kept in the Directors' refrigerator. Campers are not allowed to share food. Due to food allergies and restrictions, campers
cannot bring in outside treats for their age groups for special occasions/Birthdays.
