Food philosophy, Allergies, and Special diets

Our Food Philosophy

Delicious and nutritious meals are the focus of the YMCA Camp Surf kitchen! Environmental stewardship is also important, and we carry our respect for the Earth from the kitchen to your table. Camp and school programs eat family style to promote conversation and community. Our weekend guests eat buffet style to support positive smaller group and parent/child interactions. Healthy choices are available for all appetites, from little campers to adults!

Contact Robyn Abadie, the Food Service manager at 619.423.5850 x-110 or rabadie@ymca.org to discuss:

dietary concerns not addressed
menus during your visit or your child's visit
specific questions regarding our food products

If you determine that we are not able to adequately meet your food needs, we are happy to refrigerate items that you bring in a self-contained and clearly labeled box or cooler to supplement your meals.

We can accommodate special food needs and diets as follows:

Vegetarian

Our breakfast bar includes fresh fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt, oatmeal, and cereal (soy or cow milk). Our lunch/dinner salad bar offers a healthy selection of fresh vegetables, salads, and fruit. We serve a vegetarian alternative to each main course which is similar, but with a non-meat protein.

Gluten Allergies

We are able to provide some gluten free items such as pastas, pizza, pancakes, breads and desserts.

Tree Nut & Peanut Allergies

We do not use or buy nuts of any kind, however we do offer peanut butter (kept in the kitchen for requests only). We also label cereals that have been made in factories the process nuts.

Lactose Intolerance

We serve soy milk and can make great dishes without dairy (the kids love our naked pizza!).

Please ask us about:

Kosher - We may be able to meet your needs with vegetarian options. Please ask!

Vegans - We do not provide vegan meals, but can provide a lot of animal-free food. Feel free to ask us.
