● Housing & Dining

Dining Hall

Mealtimes at Camp Bennie are fresh, flexible, and full of flavor. Our buffet-style setup means campers can mix and match favorites, from baked (never fried) classics to made-from-scratch comfort food. Whenever possible, we source ingredients from a local farm, and there’s always fresh fruit ready to grab.

Crowd-pleasers include grilled cheese with tomato soup, spaghetti and meatballs, Korean BBQ beef with rice, and tacos loaded with beans, sweet potatoes, and chicken. We’re a nut-free camp, with gluten-free and dairy-free options at every meal—so everyone leaves happy and full.

Activities

Life at Camp Bennie doesn’t stop when class is over. Afternoons might mean paddling across the lake in a kayak, hiking wooded trails, or joining a game of soccer on the field. Evenings bring campfires under the stars, movie nights, and the kind of easy laughter that comes with being outdoors together. These moments balance the creative work in the studios, giving campers a full summer of adventure, connection, and play.
