Food at Camp
Meals That Matter
At Big Sky Bible Camp, meals are more than just food—they are part of the camp experience. Campers gather three times a day in the Peterson Lake Lodge to eat, laugh, sing, pray, and connect with their cabin groups.
Each session includes three meals per day beginning with Sunday dinner (for overnight camps) and concluding with the final scheduled meal of the session. In addition to regular meals, campers receive snacks throughout the week. Every menu is designed to serve active campers well while creating an environment of hospitality and community.
Prepared On-Site by a Dedicated Team
All meals at Big Sky Bible Camp are prepared on-site by our food services team, led by a Food Service Supervisor and supported by trained cooks and dining staff.
Our team plans menus, prepares meals fresh each day, and works to ensure meals are safe, consistent, and well-suited for active campers. From menu planning to food preparation and service, care and attentiveness guide every step.
Health & Camper Friendly
BSBC serves balanced, kid-friendly meals designed to fuel full days of activities. Menus often include a hot entrée along with lighter options, fresh fruit and vegetables, and a variety of familiar favorites campers enjoy.
Meals are served at scheduled times that align with the camp day, and campers sit with their cabin groups, strengthening friendships and shared experience around the table.

How it works in a nutshell
Food Safety
Food safety is a top priority at Big Sky Bible Camp. Our kitchen operates under established food handling procedures, including trained kitchen staff, safe food storage and temperature monitoring, careful ingredient review, and required handwashing or sanitizer use before meals.
We maintain high standards to help protect the health and well-being of every camper we serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you able to accommodate food allergies and other dietary restrictions?
While we are happy to accommodate campers with medically diagnosed conditions, we are not equipped to accommodate general food preferences or non-diagnosed intolerances.
Your camper’s health and well-being are important to us. We are happy to partner with families to care for campers with medically diagnosed allergies and dietary restrictions.
Here’s an overview of the process:
- When you register, you’ll have the opportunity to let us know about any medically diagnosed food allergies or intolerances.
- About one week before camp, we’ll send you the menu for your camper’s session, highlighting the gluten- and dairy-free options we’ll have available.
- If those options won’t meet your camper’s needs, we will ask you to provide appropriate substitute meals/meal items, and we’ll send you clear instructions for delivering pre-made, pre-packaged, and clearly labeled food items so we can serve your camper safely.
- If your camper follows a special diet due to a medically diagnosed condition and you forgot to note it on the registration form, please reach out to the camp office as soon as possible — we’re glad to help.
How do parents communicate dietary needs?
All medically diagnosed restrictions and food allergies must be listed on the camper’s registration and medical forms.
Please provide as much detail as possible during registration. If clarification is needed, our team may follow up before camp begins. Early communication allows us to prepare appropriately and serve your camper well.
