Campers will have a designated snack break each day; families may send a snack from home, or one will be provided. Because standard camp dismissal is at noon, lunch will not be served during regular camp hours. A designated lunch time will only be offered for campers who are registered for late dismissal. If staying for late dismissal, campers will need to bring their own meal.
