On occasion, fruit was served. Usually plums or watermelon.

One thought on “Lunch”
Barbara SteeleRemember going to Forest Valley in the early 80’s. I went to Driftwood P.S. Great memories of our day trips there. I remember eating lunch in that same tent looking building.Reply

Cookouts
Throughout the years, cookouts in the Sugar Bush were part of the schedule. Cabins would have this opportunity once or twice per session. Campers would collect firewood and counsellors would build fires and cook. Hamburgers and hot dogs were typically prepared.
Cookouts were sometimes done with barbecues:
