Food
Food at camp is a top priority for us to get right. We serve three meals and two snacks a day to about 250 people – a factory for all its intents and purposes! Meals at camp are camper friendly, nutritious, and have a decent deal of variety. Every day across a session is different and many meals share in the culture of the community of staff we bring from abroad. Every meal begins with a fun Hamotzi opened by the cabin of the day and is closed with a very fun version of the Birkat HaMazon.
Dining Hall
Our 5,000 square foot ‘Chadar Ochel’ a.k.a. ‘Dining Hall’ a.k.a. ‘Chad’ seats up to 299 people. Campers sit with their cabins during meals so staff can supervise their behavior, food consumption, and make sure campers are getting the fuel they need to keep going throughout the day. All food is served buffet style, and we have a separate dietary needs station to avoid cross-contamination. Each meal outside, of Saturdays (Shabbat), has variety of hot options for campers to pick from. Breakfast is usually accompanied by a cold yogurt & fresh fruit bar, cereal or oatmeal, while lunch and dinner are accompanied by a fully stocked salad bar. Keep your eyes peeled for our homemade babka on Shabbat!
Kashrut
Ranch Camp’s dining hall is a supervised Kosher facility. All meat brought in is sealed until use and is reviewed for hechsher. Dairy is not reviewed for hechsher, but if you require Kosher dairy, please let us know and we will accommodate you. All snacks and other pre-packaged items are reviewed for hechsher.
Dietary Concerns
Whatever unique food allergy your camper may have – fret not- we’ve probably seen it before. When you fill out your paperwork for camp, make sure to include information about your camper’s dietary needs and we’ll reach out if we have an issue fulfilling it. If you have questions about how we accommodate certain dietary needs, definitely schedule a meeting with us or give us a call!
