The Evolution of Our Camp Food

As we begin writing a book to share how Circle Round the Square has grown and developed over the years with the hopes of inspiring others to create their own summer arts camps and to become USDA Summer Food sites, we have been sorting photos. Today, we're sharing the evolution of camp food from the meals provided by the local school district, to the packed lunches from the local food bank and finally, the lunches the campers prepared themselves with the help of the chefs at Hocking College.

School lunches 2009 and 2010.

Packed lunches delivered to camp from local food bank 2011 and 2012.

We were pleased that the packed lunches and breakfasts had fresh fruit, but also so much packaging to throw away.

A typical breakfast 2011 and 2012.

Cereal, granola and fruit bar and smoothies 2013.

Lunch made by campers at Hocking College with Chef Katie and Chef-to-be Jordan.
