2010 Changes
This year we have exciting changes in our dining offerings. We will be gathering for meals in the more spacious dining hall at Buckhorn Camp. As is traditional, the fare is vegetarian with an emphasis on organic and locally produced foods. Our meals committee is providing the menu complete with recipes to the Camp kitchen staff who will prepare and serve the food for us. We look forward to these skilled, experienced organic cook's delicious creations.
We have a wonderful addition to our food choices this year for the first time. Our prior dinner hall will now be a fun bistro style hang out with healthy snacks and beverages to buy for your between-meal cravings.
