Great food, great fun, great summer!

Being vegetarian at Summer Camp in America? No problem at all. In fact, it might just be the tastiest summer you’ve ever had! With more awareness, better ingredients, and passionate kitchen teams, camps across the USA are now offering more delicious and diverse vegetarian options than ever before. If you’re worried about mealtimes at camp, here’s why you absolutely shouldn’t be.

The kitchen staff will help you

At Summer Camp, dietary requirements are taken seriously – and that includes vegetarians. It is becoming increasingly common for staff and campers alike to require vegetarian food options. Please list your dietary needs on your application and notify the camp when you are hired so that the kitchen can be prepared for your arrival.

Seconds (and thirds) are on the menu

Because vegetarian options are usually made in smaller batches, there tends to be more to go around – especially if others are skipping the tofu curry or veggie lasagne. That means seconds (or even thirds!) are often up for grabs. You won’t just eat well – you’ll feast!

The salad bar is a hidden gem

While meat-eaters tuck into burgers and hot dogs, you’ve got the whole salad bar to explore. Think fresh veggies, grains, toppings galore, and dressing options that go way beyond “just ranch.” It’s a choose-your-own-adventure buffet that makes healthy eating exciting.

Global flavours = next-level choices

America is a melting pot of cultures, and that’s reflected in the camp food. Expect to try vegetarian twists on Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean, and Asian favourites. Tofu tacos? Falafel wraps? Veggie sushi? Yes please. You’ll head home with new favourites and a much broader palate.

Camp is about more than food – but the food is great

Let’s not forget the main reason you’re at camp: to make incredible memories. And luckily, food is part of that experience. From themed dinners and food challenges to s’mores around the fire and midnight snacks in the cabin, your veggie lifestyle will never hold you back from the fun.

So… will I go hungry?

Not a chance. If anything, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Summer Camp is about inclusivity, adventure, and shared experiences – and that extends to every meal you’ll enjoy over the summer.
