Meals bring us together
The Dining Hall is the heart of Camp Vega – lively, delicious, and full of spirit. Meals are a chance to connect, share stories, and join in songs and cheers. Campers and counselors eat together at assigned tables by age group that rotate weekly, and lunch brings the whole camp together outdoors on the Dining Hall deck and pavilion.
Choices at every meal
Our buffet-style meals offer nutritious, kid-friendly, and adult-approved options, with a variety of main courses and familiar alternatives. A full salad bar, hot bar, pasta and sandwich stations, and soup give campers plenty of ways to create a meal they love. Dessert is shared family-style at the table after dinner.
A helping hand at mealtimes
Cabin counselors and Group Leaders are present at every meal to offer encouragement, supervision, and support. Main courses are served to younger campers at the buffet line, while older campers serve themselves. Counselors help younger girls find their way around the dining hall until they feel confident doing it independently.
Three snacks a day—and fruit throughout the day
Morning and afternoon snacks are available at Tee-Pee and Snack Shack. Fresh fruit is also available throughout the day in coolers around camp. Counselors collect evening snacks for their bunks, and girls can ask for theirs between dinner and bedtime.
Celebrations and favorite traditions
The Dining Hall brings camp together for special events and banquets, filling the room with celebrations, laughter, and shared memories. Birthdays feel extra special when campers see their names in giant letters on the iconic Birthday Sign and enjoy Vega’s famous camper cake. Lazy Sunday Breakfasts are another favorite—donuts, pajamas, and a slow, happy morning shared with friends and cousnselors.
Food allergies and dietary needs – let’s plan together
Our kitchen team works with families to prepare for food allergies, celiac disease, other medically necessary dietary restrictions, and religious dietary needs. The Allergies & Dietary Restrictions window serves campers and staff with documented needs who cannot safely eat from the regular buffet lines. Food may be prepared, stored, or served separately according to those needs.
Vega does not serve products with nut ingredients, and families and visitors may not bring foods containing nuts onto camp grounds. Please discuss your daughter’s specific allergies with us before camp so we can plan for her care.
The regular buffet and stations offer many choices for different tastes. The Allergies & Dietary Restrictions window is reserved for documented medical or religious needs. Our kitchen is not a kosher facility, so families who keep kosher should speak with us about what we can provide.
