SUMMER NUTRITION
Let’s Get Ready for Camp!
Welcome to the Marshmallows & Making Friends Nutrition Program!
The luxury of being a camper can truly be one of the most carefree and enjoyable experiences in a child’s life. Freed from academic pressures and the constant pull of technology, campers are encouraged to immerse themselves fully in the pursuit of fun and adventure! Whether it’s conquering fears by leaping off a diving board or soaring through the trees on a zip line, camp offers a safe environment for kids to embrace challenges and create lasting memories and lifelong friendships.
But sometimes, food and nutrition can be a struggle.
“What will the kids eat?”
“Will they make good choices?”
“What if they aren’t able to find the foods they like?”
“Are their counselors going to help or hurt?”
Parents and counselors often take on the role of superheroes.
They effortlessly juggling multiple responsibilities and anticipating every need.
But individuals bring their own unique set of beliefs and experiences when it comes to food and nutrition.
These personal histories shape how they approach discussions about food, bodies, and eating behaviors.
