Health & Nutrition

At Szarvas Camp, the health and well-being of our campers and staff are our top priorities. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure every camper thrives in a safe, supportive, and healthy environment.

Health

Our Health Center (The Maites Clinic) is staffed 24 hours a day by our resident health care professionals. We have a registered nurse (or higher) at camp at all times throughout the entire summer. Our medical facility includes an examination room, recovery rooms, and living quarters for our medical staff.

Campers are encouraged to stay active, hydrated, and well-rested, with scheduled breaks and wellness reminders throughout their day. We also provide ample opportunities for relaxation and mindfulness, fostering a balanced camp experience.

Nutrition & Meals

We know that nutrition fuels a great camp experience. That’s why Szarvas Camp provides balanced, wholesome, and delicious meals designed to keep our campers energized and ready for all their activities.

Food is an integral part of the Szarvas Camp experience, keeping us healthy and energized for our full camp day. Our carefully prepared menus are “kid-friendly” and varied. There is always something healthy and delicious to eat.

Our kitchen provides delicious meals and snacks using Kosher ingredients. Dairy, meat, and parve dishes are prepared separately in accordance with Kashrut standards and our kitchen staff is trained in kosher cooking. Szarvas Camp’s kitchen is supervised by a Mashgiach.

Dietary Accommodations

Szarvas Camp is committed to inclusivity, including in our dining experience. Our kitchen staff is well-equipped to handle dietary restrictions and food allergies. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other special dietary options are available at every meal. Parents are encouraged to communicate their camper’s specific needs during the application process to ensure we can provide the best possible care.

Kiosk

In addition to our regular meals, campers can enjoy a special treat from the Kiosk, our on-site snack shop. The Kiosk is open during designated times each day (except Shabbat) and offers a variety of snacks, drinks, and sweets to satisfy cravings or provide a quick energy boost. It’s a favorite spot for campers to relax, recharge, and enjoy a treat with their friends!
