• Lunch & Snacks

  Campers will need to bring a healthy lunch and healthy snacks every day. Due to the active nature of Riverview camps, we find most children need both a morning and afternoon snack — please pack accordingly. We encourage a healthy lunch that your kids will enjoy, so that their energy is high and their attitude positive. Here are some suggestions:

  GOOD to bring:

  • Healthy sandwich
  • Fruit – apples, oranges, grapes, bananas
  • Veggies – carrots, celery sticks, cucumbers
  • Non-carbonated drinks – juice, water, lemonade
  • Granola bars, trail mix, nuts, raisins
  • Other desired light, energetic food

  AVOID bringing:

  • Candy, sweets, or sugary foods
  • Soda
  • Food that spoils if not refrigerated
  • Heavy foods that deter from good exercise
  • Glass items or breakables
