Meal Time

Eating as a “cabin family” three times a day in a society where families rarely eat together is comforting to children. During mealtime, campers enjoy A LOT of singing, mail call and well-balanced nutritious, delicious meals. Our nourishing and creative meals are served family-style with counselors seated at the head of each table to assist with proper meal-time etiquette.

After the blessing (which is usually a sing-song blessing) campers learn to pass every food item around the table and wait for the counselor to begin eating. Good manners are emphasized, and campers are encouraged to try new foods.

We serve orange juice and milk at breakfast, and juice and tea for lunch and dinner.  And, we always have pitchers of water on the tables for all three meals, and a salad bar every day at lunch and dinner. Sodas are not served at Camp Woodmont. The kitchen is inspected and receives high ratings from the State Health Department.

Parents should NOT send food packages because they discourage appetites and can cause friction. If your child has an allergy or medical condition requiring special foods, our kitchen staff is happy to accommodate your requests. (please let us know in advance of your arrival.)

Snack time is held each afternoon at the camp store. We have found sodas are NOT thirst-quenching enough in the hot weather, and now only serve water-based juice and lemon-aid instead. Campers are encouraged to return for many drink refills to stay hydrated throughout the afternoon.
