FOOD AND NUTRITION

A FULL DAY OF FUN

runs on healthy snacks and full bellies.

When campers are playing hard and having this much fun, they work up a BIG appetite!

LUNCH

Campers bring their own lunches every day except Friday (see Pizza Fridays info below). Please pack a kosher dairy or pareve (no meat) lunch. Click here to see the list of various kosher symbols to look for on packaged food for camp lunches. Campers will receive a Ramah Day Camp lunch bag and these bags will be collected each morning and placed in the camp refrigerators. 

Snacks

We provide two healthy, kosher, nut-free snacks a day. Generally we offer packaged snacks in the morning (such as pretzels and Pirate’s Booty) and fruit in the afternoon. Campers also get a special treat to cool off before the bus ride home each day – popsicles! On Fridays we serve ice cream sandwiches for a sweet Shabbat.

Pizza Fridays

Every Friday we serve pizza for lunch to wrap up another great week at camp. If your child doesn’t like pizza, don’t worry – they can still bring their own lunch.

Food Allergies

Health and safety are a top priority at Ramah Day Camp and we are committed to being allergy-safe. While we are not allergen-free, we try to make our campus as safe as possible for our campers with allergies by working closely with their families before and during the summer.

Ramah Day Camp is a nut-aware campus. We do not serve any snacks or food that contain nuts or are processed in a facility with nuts. Campers may bring nut products in their lunches. Counselors are made aware of all allergies and ensure that no campers are sharing food during lunch. 

If you have allergy related questions or concerns, please contact info@ramahday.com.
