Our Food Philosophy

The Y of Pierce and Kitsap Counties promotes healthy lifestyles including eating nutrient-dense foods. The kitchen staff at Camp Seymour support and model these expectations in every meal we serve.

The strong relationship between diet, health and the increasing rates of over-consumption and obesity make supporting healthy food choices here at Camp Seymour a priority.

Camp and school programs eat family style to promote conversation and community. Our weekend guests eat buffet style to support positive smaller group and parent/child interactions. Healthy choices are available for all appetites, from little campers to adults!

We encourage parents to send supplemental food items in a small “igloo” style cooler with their child name on it. Please include inside as many “store purchased” unopened items as you are comfortable with your child eating, and we are will be happy to refrigerate those items and make them available during meals.
