Life at the Bay

We all love a delicious, wholesome, meal. However, with our fast-paced lifestyles, it is often difficult to decide on a good option that’s quick, delicious and easy to prepare. The types of food served at most summer camps are carefully selected and tick all the boxes when it comes to being traditional, wholesome and on-the-go.    Since campers are away from home, summer camps make every effort to ensure that their campers are comfortable and do not feel homesick.

The meals served at camp need to provide campers with long-lasting energ...
