Food Services

As part of our Intern program, each student receives culinary training & certification, along with six college credits. These budding chefs contribute their time and talent to our kitchen operations.  Our Executive Chef, Andrea Plotner, leads our culinary training program. Andrea’s interest in food began as a teen reading food reviews in the Sunday paper. She began restaurant work at age 15, and worked in a Christian camp kitchen after high school.  She is experienced as a home chef (with three hungry boys, now grown), personal chef, caterer, and running an in-home boarding house for international college students. A retired military spouse, Andrea has had the opportunity to live abroad and sample food from around the globe.

“Comfort Food Fresh”

With a seasonally changing menu, our executive chef and culinary team create high quality meals both comforting and fresh. Highlights of our week-long signature programs include Welcome Home Skillets with cinnamon rolls, Picnic at the Ponds, and Western Night BBQ with all the fixin’s, plus crave-worthy desserts and our Spring Canyon coffee blend.

Breakfast, Soup, Salad Bars

In addition to family-style meals, we provide breakfast and salad bars with a healthy selection of salads, raw & roasted veggies, fruits, cereals, and cottage cheese, as well as a homemade Soup of the Day. There are also regular and gluten-free PBJ stations available round the clock!

Special Diets

For special dietary needs and preferences, we can provide alternates for $25 per weekend or $50 per week (including low-carb and high protein protocols) with coordination at least two weeks prior to your stay. If you have an anaphylactic allergy or celiac disease, please note that our kitchen contains contaminants such as wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, and more. For these types of life-threatening conditions, whether ingest or airborne, we require a prior consultation with our Food Services Manager and strongly urge you to consider bringing your own food and always carry an epi-pen.
