FOOD ALLERGIES AND DIETARY RESTRICTIONS
Camp Jaycee is NOT a peanut free camp. If your camper has a specific food allergy or other special dietary need not listed below, please call us before registering to ensure that we can accommodate your camper’s needs. We can accommodate vegetarian, gluten free, lactose free and ground diets if noted on registration.
Camp Jaycee and our kitchen staff work hard to provide the most accommodating food menu, choices and times for our campers. At camp we have one seating for each meal and our cabins each dine family style.
Breakfast at 8:45
Lunch 1:00
Canteen 3:45
Dinner at 6:00
Our campers sit with their assigned cabins in our air-conditioned dining hall. Their counselors work to dish out the food to all campers while considering food allergies, dietary restrictions and portion control. Our meals rotate on a two weeks schedule featuring hot breakfast sandwiches, omelets, french toast, chicken salad, meatball subs, salad, pasta dishes, turkey dinners and tacos. Our kitchen staff works hard to meet the needs of all of our campers and staff.
If a camper is unsatisfied with the meal offered, they can ask for a PB&J sandwich. If your camper has a preferred food, we ask that you bring that food to check-in and we can provide it for them during meal times.
Canteen is an afternoon snack provided after our camp-wide general swim. This snack includes juice, milk or soda and is accompanied by small snacks such as granola bars, chips or fruit bars. Counselors are responsible for distribution of snacks.
Canteen Money
Camp Jaycee offers a shop, “Camp Canteen”, which sells a variety of camp apparel, snacks and other small items. Campers often like to have clothing matching our staff and what’s not to love about a Camp Jaycee sweatshirt for cooler nights?! Camp apparel includes t-shirts, sweatpants, hooded sweatshirts and rain jackets. Snacks are bags of chips and cans of soda; past items have included camp post cards and water bottles. Parents and caregivers are able to leave money for their camper during check in. We do not recommend campers carry cash during their stay and we are not responsible for money if it is not left with the office staff. For a camper staying 2 weeks, $20 can get them a snack once or twice and a t-shirt. For a camper staying all summer $60 can get them a few snacks and a bit more camp merchandise. The Camp Canteen is also open during check-in to make larger purchases such as sweatshirts and sweatpants.
