Meal Plan
At R.A.D. Camps, we see every meal as a chance to bring our values of community, curiosity, and sustainability to life. By involving campers in age-appropriate cooking tasks—from preparing ingredients to learning safe fire practices—we foster a sense of self-reliance and teamwork that aligns with our broader mission of nurturing confident, responsible explorers. We also believe in thoughtful eating, choosing fresh, wholesome ingredients that fuel adventure and spark a long-lasting respect for nature’s resources. Above all, we view mealtime as a space for connection and learning: a time to share stories, celebrate the day’s discoveries and come together as a camp family under the open sky.
Meal Plan at a Glance
We provide dinner on Day 1, plus breakfast and lunch on Day 2—focusing on fresh, balanced choices and fun camp-cooking experiences. Campers should bring a Day 1 sack lunch and any extra snacks in reusable containers. We accommodate common food allergies with advanced notice and offer a vegetarian option at checkout. Campers help prepare meals along side our guides, and we supply all cooking gear, plates, and utensils.
-
Day 1 Dinner: We provide a delicious campfire cookout (e.g., burgers, hotdogs, vegetarian options, fresh sides).
Day 2 Breakfast: Campers help prepare pancakes and scrambled eggs.
Day 2 Lunch: Build-your-own wraps with assorted vegetables and chips.

Campers assist with meal prep and cooking to learn basic camp-cooking skills, emphasizing safety and sanitation. They’ll use both an open-flame campfire and camp stoves under staff supervision.

We’re a peanut- and tree-nut-free camp.
Vegetarian options are available if you sign up at checkout.

Campers should eat breakfast before drop-off on Day 1 and bring a sack lunch for Day 1.
They’re welcome to bring additional snacks.
We ask that snacks not be shared between campers to avoid allergen exposure.

R.A.D. Camps supplies all essential kitchenware, including cooking utensils, plates, bowls, and cups. You only need to provide your personal water bottle (and your own cooler for any personal chilled snacks, if desired).

We strive to serve fresh, health-conscious meals. We encourage you to keep snacks healthy too—fruits, trail mixes, crackers, and so forth—to support everyone’s energy and well-being throughout the trip.
Overnight Program Note:
For our single-night overnight trips, refunds or date transfers are not available within 10 days of the trip’s start date. Because spots are limited and require extra planning, it’s difficult to fill these openings last minute. All other standard R.A.D. Camps cancellation policies remain in effect.
