Dining Facilities at Camp Pontiac

The Pontiac dining room complex, accommodating the entire camp at once, contains separate sections for boys and girls. Our peanut- and nut-free food operation is overseen by a professional food service headed by an experienced dining room manager and executive chef/steward. We hire five additional chefs including our own three Pontiac chefs, with a total of thirty-five staff members working in our food service department.

Camp Pontiac understands that many children have special dietary needs, and so we have a “Special Food Service” staff member to make sure these needs are met. We have a separate food preparation and serving area for our gluten-sensitive and gluten-free campers that is led by a senior staff member well-versed in gluten-free diets. Our food is varied, unlimited, and excellent quality. A camper favorite is our homemade thin crust pizza baked in our Pontiac pizza ovens! Our campers receive a snack (usually fruit) each morning after breakfast, and another (usually ices) after lunch. Every evening, our campers are either in the Canteen or the ice cream parlor.
