Bringing Your Own Food?

If your unit wishes to bring their own food and cook it in their campsite, they may do so. We will give each full-week individual a $45 discount for this option and prorate those staying less than a week. If you wish to bring and cook your own food, please select the "No Food Service" option for each participant. If you need help with this, please contact [email protected].

Meal Counts

Troops will be asked at check-in to provide a meal by meal count of the number of Scouts and leaders eating with their unit. Food deliveries and troop fee charges are based on these numbers. Units in Voygeur and Ten Chiefs must make patrols for food service. Food is packed in crates of 6, 8, or 10. Patrol counts must be 6, 8, or 10. If you do not have enough scouts to make a group of 6,8, or 10 use the closest number that will still provide food for everyone in your group.

For example a troop of 3 scouts and 2 adults would have 1 group of 6. A troop of 15 would get one crate of 6 and one crate of 10.

If you want specific patrol groupings that equal more than the minimum number of meals, you will be charged for extra meals.

For example if you have a group of 27 and instead of 2 crates of 10 and 1 crate of 8, you would like 5 crates of 6, you would be charged for 3 extra people for every meal.

If you would like help breaking your unit into groups please contact us.

Visitor Meals

Any changes to the meal count form must be submitted in writing by lunch on the previous day to ensure an adequate supply of food and for billing purposes. Be sure to include any guests that will be joining you for a meal.

Meal Change Requests

If you would like to change the amount of meals sent to your campsite, discuss with your Commissioner or Camp Director.
