Bald Eagle Camps is proud to partner with
  
to provide a healthy lunch option for all of our Summer Camps!

Lunch
Taste Nutrition is an innovative school nutrition service management company that provides meals to schools all across Northern California.  Their sole aim is to work with schools to deliver customized, higher quality nutritious lunches to ensure healthier and happier kids.

What are your kids typically eating for lunch?  Corn dogs, cheeseburgers, and hot dogs. Does this sort of menu selection sound familiar? Most school lunch programs offer a variety of foods not in the best interests of your child's health. Perhaps that is why there has been a staggering 45% increase in Type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents. And many are making the correlation between Type 2 diabetes and childhood obesity.

Why should they eat a healthy lunch? Beyond health issues, there are also academic reasons for a healthier appetite. The relationship between proper nutrition and learning ability has been well documented over the years. In order to pay attention and get good grades, kids need healthy foods - not just at breakfast, but also throughout the day. According to a recent study conducted by the California Department of Education, higher achievement was associated with higher levels of fitness.

Taste Nutrition has the recipe for a great lunch! The key ingredient to our recipe is passion.  Taste Nutrition has the unequivocal belief that providing healthier meals will improve kids' minds as well as their lives. That, in a nutshell, is the reason we created Taste Nutrition. We're parents too. And like you, we want to give our kids every opportunity to succeed. It's what parents do. And, let's face it. Helping kids be the best they can be is also a lot of fun.


Snacks
All snacks are included in the camp fee.  We have a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack break.  Snacks vary depending on the day and range from Granola/Quaker bars, fruit, chips, pretzels, fruit chews or small portions of candy.   Every camp day ends with an Otter Pop, Popsicle, Watermelon Chunk, or Ice Cream! 


Hydration
Bald Eagle Camps takes staying hydrated very seriously.  Our Double Goal Coaches take plenty of water breaks, especially during the afternoons and heat waves, giving the campers lots of opportunities for hydration.  Campers have all-day access to ice cold coolers full of Gatorade, Kool-Aid and Water.  We encourage all campers to bring a water bottle so they can keep their fluids handy.
