Will My Child Go Hungry At Camp?
Ben Moss
At Circle F Dude Ranch Camp, food isn’t just fuel… it’s part of the experience.
Our dedicated kitchen staff works hard to create balanced meals using quality ingredients, offering a variety of options to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Every meal is served family style in the Lasso Lodge, where campers sit together with their cabinmates. It’s a time to sing camp songs, connect, share stories, and enjoy a community where everyone feels at home around the table.
We’re proud to say our menu is kid friendly and parent approved.
With a full salad bar and pasta bar at every lunch and dinner, there’s always something available for campers who prefer a different option than what’s being served. For those with special dietary needs or allergies we’ve got you covered. Our kitchen is completely nut free, and we take every precaution to safely accommodate gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, and other individual needs. If your child has a food allergy or restriction, we work with you directly to ensure meals are safe, satisfying, and stress free.
We also believe mealtime is about more than just eating. That’s why campers take turns serving as waiters for their cabin. Waiters set and place the food on the table, and clean up after meals. It’s a camp tradition, a source of pride, and a small, but meaningful way for campers to learn responsibility and teamwork.
Whether they’re adventurous eaters or stick to the classics, there’s always something tasty on the table. Just in case they need a little extra support or reassurance about mealtime, our counselors are there to help every step of the way.
