Pony Farm Summer Camp - What is the food like at camp?

You can look at a sample menu below, it does a better job of describing and detailing what we serve at camp all summer long. We have a terrific staff of about 5 ladies, who feed camp all summer long. They are healthy, tasty, and most importantly food kids will eat. The ladies serve 3 meals a day, snack, and dessert. They prepare the meals right in the lodge kitchen and the food is served buffet style.

If your child has a special diet or food allergies, please let us know on the camp forms. Another reason why those forms are important! We are happy to keep the special dietary items in the kitchen, where they can be stored properly and monitored.

We have seen the gamut when it comes to kids’ allergies and eating habits, from celiacs, vegetarians, vegans, and allergies to fruit and meat, to the semi-vegetarians who don’t eat poultry, beef or pork, "but bacon is okay."

We once had a returning camper who started off eating only Raman noodles and Hershey bars. I am proud to say we increased her diet by 100% to include strawberry yogurt and French fries. Our meals are kid-friendly, and there is always a vegetarian option. As a last resort, peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff (this is New England, after all) are always available.

Please send us your camp forms so that we can let the kitchen staff know about any special diets or allergies.

Best,
Becky Co - Camp Director
