Food and Menu Selection
This is one area that we do things a bit differently from others – First, we offer you food items from the Camp Chow line (a local company that makes their meals without preservatives) and from Cache Lake (a great company in Bemidji, MN). We sample and hand pick every item on our menu.
Secondly, we customize every menu to match your preferences. We will send you a menu to pick from and then you can indicate your preferences. We take pride in our ability to handle a variety of dietary restrictions such as vegetarian and gluten intolerance. Many of our menu selections can be tailored to your group’s needs.
All meals are family style; everyone in the group will have the same items at each meal. Menus are due 1 month prior the start of your trip and the final number of people is due 2 weeks before the start of your trip. The menu should be returned by the designated deadline at the top of the menu. If a menu is returned after the noted date, an expediting fee of $25 per person will be charged.
Additional Activities/Services
Spare some extra time at the beginning or end of your trip and head out on a horse back ride or soar through the trees at the Towering Pines Canopy Tour. Keep it relaxed and enjoy a delicious meal from our on-site restaurant Justine’s.
