Food Services

At Camp Wabanna, we want groups to be able to relax and focus on the purpose of why they’re here. Therefore we are happy to prepare all meals and offer snack services as well. Our meals are served cafeteria style, with groups sitting 10 – 14 per table. If there are multiple groups here, a section of tables will be reserved for each group so that guests can all sit together.
A dinner bell is rung five minutes prior to the start of each meal, beckoning hungry diners inside. Once seated, your Wabanna Host will go over a few dining hall procedures, pray for our meal, and dismiss tables. This is also a time group leaders can use for announcements if they wish.
Our menus are created each weekend by our Food Service Manager. Any special dietary concerns will need to be submitted one week prior to the event, as that is when our menu planning begins. Separate menu items are not made for individual guests; however with the knowledge of dietary restrictions in mind, full menu modifications can sometimes be made to make a menu that accommodates as many guests as possible. In addition, guests with severe allergies or concerns are permitted to bring in supplementary items to ensure they are getting everything they need. Please see a sample of what a weekend menu would look like:
Sample Friday Dinner:
Lasagna (Vegetarian & Meat options), Parmesan Roasted Broccoli, Breadsticks with Marinara Sauce, Full Salad Bar, Chocolate Brownies, Iced Tea & Coffee Bar
Sample Saturday Breakfast:
Scrambled Eggs, Sausage Links, Seasoned Breakfast Potatoes, Assorted Cereals & Milk, Assorted Yogurts, Assorted Oatmeal & Toppings, Fresh Fruit, Juice, Coffee Bar

In addition to our meals, we also have the opportunity to set up snacks for your group. Our snacks range between setting up a s’mores station at your bonfire, to nacho bars and Buffalo wings. Please see our snack menu below:
Groups also have the option of bringing in some of their own snacks and drinks. Those snacks and drinks can include any store bought, no-cooking required items. Homemade foods or foods needing to be cooked or prepared are not permitted as there are not adequate spaces for groups to do this. A refrigerator, small sink and microwave are in the Dining Hall and available for groups to use, however they are available for any group on property so please be sure to adequately mark or label any items being stored there.
Recreation
Groups that are interested in recreation have a lot to choose from at Camp Wabanna. We have a large gymnasium with an indoor basketball court, floor hockey, and a large variety of other sporting equipment. The gym is open to all groups on the property for no additional cost. Groups may rent up to two hours of exclusive gym usage per day during their stay if they would like to ensure private usage at a particular time.
Our other cost free activities include a tennis court, a four-way volleyball net, an outdoor basketball court, four tetherball poles, Gaga Ball, Corn Hole, an outdoor volleyball net, a soccer field and a playground.
We also offer many Wabanna staffed activities that are rented during specific times by the hour. Please go to the following link to see our current recreation offerings and policies:

We hope that no matter what your purpose in being here, that our staff is able to show your group a higher level of hospitality and care that stems from our relationship with Christ and our desire to reflect his love to all.
