One of the most important factors considered by parents and guardians when choosing the ideal summer camp for their children is the food in summer camps.
Since we are always looking for the best for the little ones at home, it is important to pay attention to such an important aspect. This is essential since children and youngsters will be away from their family environment for several days.
Importance of food in summer camps.
When selecting a summer camp, there are many factors to consider. But certainly, one of the most important is the nutrition of the participants.
Since children and youngsters at camps carry out many activities that involve energy expenditure, we must make sure that the food provided is ideal to replenish energy.
Basically, the food should be in accordance with the physical activity that will take place at the camp.
At Etheria Trips, we know very well how important a balanced diet is for the development of children. So, in this opportunity, we will offer some very important tips to consider in order to select a camp that provides the ideal food for your child.
Camp with its own or external kitchen equipment.
An interesting suggestion regarding the issue of food in summer camps, is to check what type of food service is provided at the camp.
This is important, because the type of food provided at the summer camp will be linked to the tasks and activities of the coordination team.
Most camps have their own cooking equipment. The team ensures that the dishes are prepared daily, with fresh ingredients.
These dishes are prepared according to the physical demands of the camp, with the right ingredients to replenish energy.
Camp with external cooking equipment.
There are also summer camps where the food service is external, where you can find menus offered by Cateting services. Although they are a good option, the best option is to choose camps that have their own kitchen equipment, and can verify and guarantee the preparation of adequate food in the proper sanitary conditions.
Years of experience in the organization and coordination of camps have shown us that having our own kitchen equipment is the best way to maintain a greater and better control over the food.
By doing so, we can guarantee from the very beginning of the camp that the food consumed by the participants is appropriate for their age, with the nutrients they need according to the activities carried out.
Food in summer camps: The number of meals eaten each day.
For many parents, the number of meals eaten daily is also important. On this point, the camp is best suited to provide at least four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner.
With this organization of meals, children will be able to gain energy constantly and at the same time serve as a break between different activities. What better time than the snack, to take a break from activities and provide the energy to complete a full day?
To summarize, considering these two requirements, we can guarantee that our children will enjoy a camp with the best possible nutrition. A balanced diet will allow them to replenish their energy and get the most out of the experience.
