Food
Camp
Nah-Jee-Wah is nut free and Kosher environment.
The camp staff will provide all meals, which will be basic camp food. Past entrees have included falafel,
chicken, beef, salad bar, etc. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free meals are available for those who request
them via registration.
We provide primarily healthy choices and will make every attempt to accommodate special dietary needs within
the limitation of what the camp can supply. There are often many vegetarians, so non-meat choices will be
available at every meal. We have reviewed the menus with the camp in advance to ensure that there is something
for everyone. You must carefully denote your dietary restrictions and allergies on the registration form.
There will be three options:
- Standard
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
Camp Nah-Jee-Wah Kashrut Guidelines for Kitchen Operations
All ingredients are Kosher with hechsher, but no mashgiach on site.
Dairy/Meat separated
Paper plates,
etc. to maintain dairy/meat separation
Glatt Kosher and vegan meals are available at no additional cost;
however, they are available only to those who specify the need at registration AND register during early bird or
regular registration. These options are not available to those who register during late registration due to our
need to provide the camp with a headcount so that arrangements can be made for them. Also, if you sign up for
them, you must eat them, not the mainstream meal.
