PROVIDED FOR YOU
Every day, a real meal
For Summer 2027, lunch is provided every camp day for campers in every Branches program, including on-campus programs and off-campus Adventurers trips. The food service professionals at The Meadowbrook School prepare balanced, nutritious lunches fresh each day for on-campus campers.
On-campus lunches feature a freshly prepared hot entrée alongside a sandwich and salad bar. Morning and afternoon snacks round out the day for on-campus campers.
Please do not pack food for on-campus campers. To protect all campers and staff, food brought from home is not permitted for Campers or Explorers programs. This is a food safety policy.
What campers get each day
- Morning snack
- On-campus lunch — hot entrée + sandwich & salad alternatives
- Afternoon snack
Lunch is provided for every program, including off-campus Adventurers trips. Snacks are provided for on-campus campers.
WHAT'S TO EAT
Three times a day, covered
On-campus program campers are fed well from morning arrival through the afternoon; no packing required.
Morning Snack
A nutritious morning snack is provided for all on-campus campers before the day's activities begin, keeping energy steady from the moment they arrive.
Lunch
A fresh, balanced lunch prepared by Meadowbrook's food service staff. Campers choose from a hot entrée or a sandwich and salad bar alternative; something for every appetite.
Afternoon Snack
An afternoon snack keeps energy up through the final stretch of the camp day, right before pickup, so campers head home fueled, not hungry.
OFF-CAMPUS PROGRAMS
Adventurers Lunches
Adventurers receive a provided lunch on every off-campus program day. Families may also choose to pack a lunch from home if they prefer.
01
Lunch Provided
Branches provides lunch for Adventurers on every trip day, so families do not need to plan a purchase at the destination.
02
Bring a Lunch from Home
Adventurers may still bring lunch from home. Please pack a nut-free lunch that requires no heating and include an ice pack to keep food fresh throughout the day.
ALLERGIES & DIETARY NEEDS
We coordinate with every family
Families with food allergy or dietary concerns should contact Branches before summer begins. Our head chef works directly with families and the health office to make sure every camper is safe and well cared for.
Contact Us Before Summer
If your child has a food allergy or dietary restriction, reach out to us before camp begins. Early communication ensures we can put the right support in place from day one.
Chef Coordination
Our head chef coordinates directly with families and the health office. Individual alternative meals are not routinely prepared, but are accommodated when an allergy or dietary concern requires one.
Nut-Free
Branches works to maintain a nut-free environment. Families with nut allergies should speak with our team directly before summer.
