THURSDAY SMOKIE ON A BUN LUNCH

On Thursday we will be providing a special lunch for the campers!  After learning about where food comes from throughout the week, this lunch ties it all together.  The campers will forage ingredients for salad, make a simple salad dressing and pair it with a Farm One Forty smokie on a bun for a delicious and nutritious lunch that day.  If you’d rather pack your child a lunch that is completely fine too, just let us know.
