Dining Hall
Meals at Camp Vega are more than just a time to eat—they’re a chance to connect, share stories, and show off camp spirit with songs and cheers in our vibrant Dining Hall.
Campers and staff sit at assigned tables with their age group, fostering friendships and connections. Weekly seating rotations ensure everyone gets to know new faces. During “lawn lunch,” the entire camp community often eats together outdoors on the Dining Hall deck.
What’s on the Menu?
Meals are served buffet-style, offering plenty of nutritious and delicious options. Breakfast features fresh fruit, organic yogurt, and cereals. Lunch and dinner include a full salad bar stocked with fresh produce, proteins like quinoa and hummus, plus alternatives like a pasta bar, sandwich station, and soups. We prioritize local produce and organic ingredients daily.
Snacks
Campers enjoy three snack times each day. Morning snacks include fresh fruit and homemade smoothies, while afternoons feature popcorn and fruit. In the evening, counselors pick up healthy snacks for campers to enjoy before bedtime.
Food Allergies and Dietary Needs
We’re proud to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs. Our camp is peanut- and tree nut-free, and we offer gluten-free, dairy-free, and other allergy-sensitive options. Parents consistently rate Vega as one of the best camps for girls with allergies.
Our trained staff prepares substitute meals with care, using separate preparation areas and equipment to avoid cross-contamination. Dietary accommodations are coordinated with our nursing team and counselors to ensure camper safety.
If your daughter has specific dietary needs, please share details with us. While many specialty items can be sourced locally, some may need to be sent by parents. We’re here to help ensure all meals meet her needs and align with the menu plan.
