Our camp believes in the importance of eliminating pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones and hydrogenated fats from our camp menu. Our executive chef is Marcus Guiliano, owner of Aroma Thyme Bistro, winner of awards for “Best New Bistro Restaurant in the Hudson Valley.
We offer a healthy choice of organic vegetables, milk, cheese and eggs. Many of the organic vegetables and eggs come from our local farmers that are certified organic. Our beef comes from Thunderview Farms who raise Black Angus steers on locally grown hay and corn without hormones or antibiotics. Murray’s Chicken is our supplier of free range chicken and turkey raised without hormones and antibiotics. We eliminate all hydrogenated fats in cooking our tasty food.
We use whole wheat and gluten free pasta and our whole wheat bread is custom baked for us by Cohen’s Bakery in Ellenville.
A balanced variety of entrees will please even the pickiest eater. We always try to honor special menu requests by our staff and campers.
