We provide safe drinking water and a midday lunch for all participants. Upon arrival, we may offer families coffee, tea, fruit or another light snack as a way to welcome the group each morning. Lunch is always 100% vegetarian. While we cannot make gluten or dairy-free meals specifically, there will always be options for children on those diets.
As often as possible, we introduce children to local culture through food, choosing items traditionally cooked in that region. We ask that families with children without allergies or restrictions do not send outside food to the hub. For participants with multiple or serious allergies, parents are welcome to pack food and should notify staff with this intention.
We request detailed information about allergies and food preferences on all family members – as adults often join us for Family Field Trips, Weekend Excursions, and Parent-Only Activities – through a Health & Wellness Form provided after enrollment.
