We eat in our pleasant “Café”, where campers & staff bring sack lunches or eat the meals cooked fresh daily by Mrs. Turner for those who purchased the Lunch Meal Plan. 

 

 

 

Lunchtime is also a time to relax, talk about the morning’s ride, eat as much as you want, lounge in  hammocks, play air hockey, or for the last 20-30 minutes have the option of going into the Rec. Ctr. with staff and watch part of a movie throughout the week.
