Food service
- While you are here, you will be served three meals a day, free of charge. Meals are served in the cafeteria, the Lighthouse, except dinner and weekend meals that you pick up on trays from the dietary office and can be eaten in the cafeteria or taken back to your house. The kitchen staff is very helpful and usually responsive to special requests.
- The food is good. If you don't care for a particular meal they're serving, they'll find something for you, so you won't starve. If all else fails, there is a McDonald's, a Subway, and several local restaurants in town.
- If you plan on going hiking over a meal, the kitchen staff will supply you with a bag lunch. They take very good care of us!
