Nutrition:
In the dining hall there is a poster of foods being served at each meal with the grams of carbohydrate listed per serving. There are kitchen staff and a dietician to help the campers figure out how much carbohydrate they have on their plates. The camp dietician and counselors try to teach campers how to carbohydrate count and how different foods act in their body (ie. fast acting sugar vs. complex carbohydrate).
The camp's eating schedule is as follows: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack.
