Meal-time 101A how-to for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner at camp
Does this stuff really matter???
• YES!!!! This is pretty important stuff.
• Next time you go to Winacka or Whispering Oaks you’ll practically be an expert.
How does the meal-time routine work?
• The first thing that happens are the hoppers coming in to set up
• Secondly, the adults come in before the girls, and spread out through the lodge
• The third thing is all of the campers coming in and sitting at the tables
• Next a greeting is sung• After that everyone eats• And last, but not least, is the clean-up
Table etiquette • Pass food around the table….not across• Remember that there are 8 people at each
table. make sure everyone gets the same amount of food.
• FEED YOUR HOPPER!!! Don’t forget about her! She needs food too.
Meals at camp are always served “family Style”.
Seconds!• You can get seconds when the Rusty/Chewy
sign is turned around so you can see their face.
Hopping
• Hoppers are the people who get food for their table
• Hoppers come in early to help set up the tables
• Please, carry the food with two hands!!!
Just a note….
• When you are hopping it isn’t necessary for you to actually hop to the kitchen
• Remember, you are not a bunny rabbit.
Whispering Oaks
• The hopper will go up to the big window to get the food, carrying it with both hands
• Hoppers must walk through the center aisle of the lodge to get there
Winacka
• The food will be found at the second window.• There are red footsteps for you to follow.
Please, follow them!• Once you get the food, keep following the
footsteps. You should end up on the opposite side from which you came
Footprints? What footprints?
Follow the rusty footprints from the right side of the stage
It’s not that hard….. you’ll get it.

A helpful hint:
DISHES
Before taking your table’s dishes back, every person at the table needs to:
• Separate the trash from the compost• Clean off their silverware, and• SCRAPE THEIR PLATE AND BOWL
WITH THE RUBBER SCRAPER!!!
DISHES (cont.)
• If the dishes aren’t properly cleaned you WILL be eating sanitized bits of food from your last meal.
• So, make sure you clean every piece of food off of your dishes.
• The dishwashers aren’t like the ones at home, they just sanitize the dishes
Another note…
• If you have something sticky, like syrup on your plate, try using a leftover orange to help get it off.
• Just make sure nobody wants the orange first
• Orange peels and banana peels also work.
The dishwasherIn order to get your dishes cleaned, they have to be racked the right way so they fit in the machine
Dish Racks:This is what a PROPERLY racked rack of dishes looks like:
It has 8 plates, 8 bowls, and 8 cups
Here’s what it looks like from another angle:
