MISSION TRIPS - SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
Camping Pros can accommodate people with special dietary needs. Below are some guidelines to help us better serve you. Please make your mission trip organizer aware in advance of any special dietary needs you might have. We also ask that you introduce yourself to our Food and Beverage Manager, Javier Bonilla or our Operations Manager, Carlos Zertuche upon arrival to camp.
Vegetarian options: For participants with diets free of meat, fish, and fowl flesh, Camping Pros always has some of the following available: Spaghetti with marinara sauce, steamed vegetables (corn, green beans and carrots), veggie burgers, sweet corn and cheddar tamales. We also serve grilled cactus plant (nopales), Spanish rice, and vegetarian beans every other night. Soy milk is also available.
Gluten Free/Celiac Disease: Bringing a loaf of special (gluten-free) bread is a great start for daily sandwiches and even French toast. We have plenty of corn tortillas, meats, fruits and vegetables as well as eggs. Breakfasts and dinners are never a problem but we do recommend participants with celiac disease to bring snacks for lunches. A pound of special pasta can come in handy for multiple day trips.
Diabetics/Cold Storage: When it comes to medicine for participants (such as insulin or Epi-Pens) our normal practice is to provide the participant with a small ice chest as well as daily ice refills (twice a day). This allows 24/7 access to the medicine and gives you the option of taking the medicine to the worksite and keeping it with you overnight.Food allergies in general: We cook everything fresh on-site but as far as dry goods, we highly recommend reading food labels. We do not use shellfish or any type of nuts in any of our dishes. There are, however, nuts in the granola bars and other snacks we provide. For any allergies outside these categories please let your trip organizer know in advance.
NOTE: Upcoming menus are posted one day in advance in the service area. If you have any questions regarding special dietary concerns not covered above or questions in general please email our Operation Manager, Carlos Zertuche.
