We were privileged to cater at 5 Star Camps last year and looking forward to the upcoming season. We enjoy 5 Star Camps so much that you can find our children among the Campers. We think that not only is the food outstanding but enjoyed the enthusiasm of the camp counselors,
the organization of the programs and the willingness of the ownership to cater to the special needs of our guests.
See you at Camp!!
