FAQs:
Food: What will we eat?
Breakfast and lunch are hosted at the University's food court. Some students chose to bring their own food (brown bag), most eat at the University's many options that include: Chick-fil-A, Paavo's Pizza, Boss Burgers, Sandwich Shop, Home Cooked Meal (breakfast and lunch), Salad & Soup Bar, Cocina Mexican, and Starbucks. The cost for meals on campus generally ranges from $8-14 depending on your order.
For dinner, the overnight campers will work with the dorm monitors to order food and have it delivered. This usually includes pizza, sandwiches, pasta, etc. Students often bring bottled water, snacks, and breakfast items to keep in their dorm room. Cash is usually the best option for them.
