Meals
Your child will be responsible for preparing their own meals with the oversight of our staff members. Meals consist of carefully planned menus that are nutritious and as tasty as possible within the limits of foods that can be safely preserved without risk of spoilage and are light enough to carry. A registered dietician plans the menu, which consists of whole grains, legumes, salami, cheese, vegetables, and fruit. There is no caffeine or extra processed sugar in their diet.
Participants are taught the principles of good nutrition and basic cooking techniques which extend, for those who are interested, to methods of cooking tasty stews, biscuits, pizzas, pan bread, and hot breakfasts from the basic ingredients they have in their packs.
The group will receive regular supplies of food during the expedition.
