What to Bring

Meals

We have had a request for some ideas for kids’ lunches since here at the ashram we ask that all food remain vegetarian (this just means no meat – eggs and cheeses are acceptable). Some popular items are:

• nut butter sandwiches or nut butter with apples or bananas
• hummus or white bean dip with veggies or crackers
• hummus and veggie wrap
• Caprese salad, sandwich or just served on large tomatoes
• bean and cheese or plain cheese or cheese and veggie burritos
• boiled or deviled eggs
• egg salad (great gluten-free option-put it in a tomato)
• muffin tin egg and veggie frittata
• quinoa salad (dress it up with raisins, olives, tomato, cucumber, or a fun sauce)
• falafel (pre-packaged falafel meals are available at most grocery stores)
• soups with beans kept in a thermos or rice and beans
• faux-meats are also always an option (veggie burgers, blt’s, hot dogs)
• smoothie with hemp seeds blended and kept in a thermos
• yogurt with cereal or fruit
• fried egg sandwich
• bean noodles stir fry with or without a Thai peanut sauce
• mac and cheese
• seed and nut breads

Please note that there are many great gluten free options of breads, crackers, and wraps as well as cheese substitutes.

Clothing

While weather conditions can vary in Boulder throughout the summer season, the following items should be brought to camp each day:

• Water bottle

• Hat
• Jacket (in case of rain)
• Bathing suit, towel and sandals (for water play and/or pool)
• An extra set of clothes
• Mark all items with camper’s name in indelible ink
• Children should wear tennis shoes or hiking boots
