YWCA CAMP CAVELL - MENU PLANNERThe following list represents a variety of meals that are available at Camp Cavell. You are welcome to be creative and provide us with your ideas or recipes. Our cook will be glad to discuss the details of your menu and accommodate any special requests or dietary needs. A basic meal includes one main dish such as pancakes for breakfast or lasagna for dinner. For an extra entrée’ or extended menu, there is an additional charge. We serve both buffet and family style. The family style is a sit down meal with one or two volunteers from each table (called hoppers) who bring platters of food to the table. In the buffet style, everyone serves himself or herself.

| Dining Hall Procedures |
|
Our Dining Hall Motto! Please take all you like, but eat all you take! Buffet Style: (Takes longer for large groups, but good for groups who are not on time for meals) Dishes and silverware are on a cart at the front of the buffet line. Each individual returns their own dishes to the kitchen as they finish. (See description below) Family Style: (Quicker for larger groups and everyone is done at same time and it can give opportunities to promote more conversation, the use of table manors, and cooperation) § Choose one or two volunteers per table to come 15 minutes before the meal and set the tables. We ask all the other campers to wait outside until mealtime. At summer camp, we call these people hoppers and they take turns each day. § The hoppers are the only people who go into the kitchen and they use the in and out doors so we don’t have collisions! § If the hoppers are children, they each sit near the adult or staff person at their table. § They only take one of each item from the kitchen to their table i.e. platter of turkey, or pitcher of juice, etc. § If you run out of something at your table, the hopper first asks how many more of that item people would like and then takes the platter, or bowl etc. into the kitchen and request a refill with that many pieces. § If the kitchen has run out of an item, there is usually still food available at other tables and they can ask at other tables. § All good food is returned first before desert or the dirty dishes are taken back. § As everyone finishes up the hoppers ask if everyone is done with a food item and they take it back into the kitchen careful to keep it in good order. § They place good food on the kitchen counter, scrape empty serving dishes into the garbage, and put them on the dishwasher counter. In the in door and out the out door. § Once food is returned, they can bring out desert (if there is one) or start bringing dirty dishes in. § We handle dirty dish return in a certain way as to not overwhelm the kitchen. An adult at each table takes the responsibility to collect the dishes into piles, scrapping each one as it comes to them. The best way is for them to call for one type of dish at a time i.e. dinner plates first, and ask that people slide them down without stacking them (or they get gooey on the bottom). Scrape them onto one dish, and when done place it on top of the pile. Then send the entire pile back into the kitchen with the hopper. Then ask for cups, silverware etc. NOTE: Kitchen staff can send back any hopper who is not bringing in dishes properly! § In the kitchen the hopper is asked to scrape waste into the garbage container, silverware into the gray tub, and dishes into stacks on the counter i.e. dishes with dishes, cups with cups. § After the table is clear get a rag from the bucket near the in / out doors and wipe the table. § Once a day have everyone put up chairs and have volunteers sweep the dining room. Important note! Hot water in coffee machines is very hot. Our coffee machine can only be operated by an adult! |
