At Café Zeke, campers do not have to choose between food they enjoy and food that keeps them ready for a full camp day. Our buffets pair classic camp favorites with fresh fruit and vegetables, allergy-friendly alternatives, and our Performance Plate option at every meal.
Campers can mix and match from the different stations. One camper might choose pizza with edamame and roasted sweet potatoes. Another might choose blackened tilapia, tofu, brown rice, and cauliflower. Both are eating at the same table, with the same bunk, and sharing the same joyful camp meal.
Campers choose from a generous buffet and build a meal that works for them. Every morning begins with a rotating hot breakfast, such as chocolate chip pancakes, waffles, French toast, and scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. Our breakfast bar also includes fresh fruit salad, whole fruit, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs, sliced cheese, breads, SunButter, jam, and other familiar choices.
At lunch and dinner, campers find a featured meal, vegetables and salads, plant-based choices, and allergy-friendly versions of many dishes. With so many options, picky eaters can begin with foods they know while a more adventurous camper can try something new.
A camper might have waffles and berries for breakfast, grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch, and tacos with rice, corn, guacamole, and salsa for dinner. The next day might bring French toast, macaroni and cheese, Italian tilapia, or a build-your-own teriyaki bowl with rice, chicken (and a tofu option), edamame, avocado, and roasted vegetables.
The best way to understand our food is to see what campers actually eat. Here is a real week from summer 2026.

Camp Zeke is nut free. We also have a dedicated team of chefs who work in a separate kitchen to prepare food for campers with allergies, celiac disease, and other dietary requirements.
Our weekly menus include gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan, and other allergy-specific versions of camp’s featured dishes.
Because every camper’s needs are different, we speak directly with families before camp about significant allergies and dietary requirements. We will explain our kitchen procedures, learn what your child needs, and help you determine whether our program is an appropriate fit.
Camp Zeke’s kitchen is kosher. Families with questions about supervision, ingredients, or accepted hechshers are encouraged to contact us directly.
Vegetarian and vegan campers do not have to assemble dinner from side dishes. Our menus include substantial plant-based entrées throughout the week, including vegan egg scrambles, vegan waffles and pancakes, vegan pizza, dairy-free grilled cheese, vegan taco meat, tofu teriyaki bowls, black bean and corn chili, vegan chicken sandwiches and tenders, falafel, hummus, beans, whole grains, and roasted vegetables. Whenever we serve a meat or dairy dish, there is always a significant vegan and vegetarian version available.
We have bottomless fruit bowls, cold water, and breads and spreads available in the dining room all day. Campers can grab a snack anytime.
Our canteen is also open most afternoons and after evening programs, and campers can also come by anytime. They can choose from smoothies, trail mix, popcorn, granola bars, fruit, and rotating snacks and treats.
Our Performance Plate buffet option provides an additional, separate buffet table built around simply prepared staples like chicken, fish, tofu, and beans accompanied by vegetables, whole grains, or potatoes.
We call it the Performance Plate because it is designed for campers who want that style of meal to fuel their active days. It is simply another good choice at Café Zeke. Campers are welcome to combine Performance Plate selections with food from any other station.
Recent Performance Plate selections have included:
Friday night dinner is one of the highlights of the week at Café Zeke. Campers dress in blue and white, the dining room is decorated for Shabbat, and everyone comes together for challah, soup, a festive dinner, singing, and time with friends. The feeling of the entire camp eating and celebrating together is one of the warmest camp moments for many campers.
Food is one of the best ways to understand Camp Zeke. Visit camp, see Café Zeke, and talk with us about what your camper enjoys eating and any accommodations your family may need.
