Food Details:
This Adventure Tour Supplier guides take care of all the camp work and are experts at preparing bountiful, healthy meals. From their well-stocked ice chests, they produce a seemingly unending supply of fresh meats, cheese, fruits, vegetables, and breads. Breakfast options include fresh fruit, blueberry sourdough pancakes, or banana nut muffins served piping hot out of our Dutch ovens. Lunches consist of riverside deli cold cuts with all the fixings so you can create your own version of the Dagwood. We like to think of the main course, dinner, as a show. Dine on fresh, delicious cuisine, such as fresh Alaskan Salmon, BBQ tenderloin steaks, Cornish game hens with rosemary, and Dutch oven baked desserts and breads – all artfully prepared in our riverside kitchen. We are happy to accommodate those with special dietary restrictions. The best part is at the end of the meal; we do the dishes.
We provide drinks at all times. While on the raft we have cold water, lemonade, sodas, and fruit juices. At camp there is a selection of tea, coffee, cocoa, and drink mixers. We do provide a limited amount of cold beer and dinner wine. You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages. We always have plenty of room and ice to keep them cold.
