Lunches and Snacks

The Chestnut Hill School is a "Nut-Free/Aware" campus. Please click here for a message from our Nurse.

The Chestnut Hill School Summer Camp provides nut-free catered lunches (e.g. BBQ, pizza, pasta, etc.) and snacks each Friday. 

• On Mondays - Thursdays, campers may either bring in their own lunches with an ice pack, if needed, or purchase a lunch through our new vendor LunchBox Caterers; see below.  Families should also provide two nut-free snacks for their full day camper or one nut-free snack for their half day camper each day.
• Lunch provided option - Families may choose to enroll with LunchBox Caterers and purchase a lunch to be delivered to camp one or more days per week (Mondays-Thursdays). More information and menus will be provided to our registered families during our monthly announcements and reminder email blasts.

Taste of Summer Camp provides nut-free lunches and snacks daily (6/12, 6/13, 6/16, 6/17, and 6/18).

• Families will be provided a menu from LunchBox Caterers (included with enrollment) and will be able to select a lunch from a variety of options.  Campers grades 3-6 will also enjoy lunch options provided at their field trip destinations.

Birthday Celebrations! Campers who are with us for their birthday will have popsicles (provided by camp) with their entire "homeroom" group at either the morning or afternoon snack. For safety reasons, families are not permitted to bring in birthday treats to share with the campers.

Our campus is a nut aware campus. We ask all staff and campers to refrain from bringing any nut products on-site. Lunches and snacks will be monitored by staff. We will have substitute nut-free snacks available for those campers who may accidentally bring in any nut products.  Any nut products will be packed up and sent home with a friendly reminder notice from our camp nurse.

You are welcome to make friendship requests for your camper on the Camper Questionnaire. The friend must be entering the same grade and admitted to the same session as your child in order for us to place them together (late requests may not be honored). Please register early to guarantee space.

To ensure the safety for our camp community, we will be following all state, local and CDC COVID-19 guidelines along with any recommendations by The American Camping Association. We will be watching closely for any new updates from the state and will adjust our policies in our Family Handbook as needed.
