The question arrives as soon as registration is confirmed: “What will my child eat during the camp?”<\/em>. Food is one of the key concerns for families and, across the Natuaventura catalogue, it follows a common standard at all nine camps. Here is what you need to know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Natuaventura standard: 4 meals a day<\/h2>\n

All Natuaventura camps provide 4 meals a day<\/strong>: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. The rhythm is adapted to age groups and the physical activity of the day, with energy-boosting breakfasts on hiking days and reinforced snacks after afternoon activities.<\/p>\n

How the cooking works<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

In-house kitchen<\/h3>\n

Each camp cooks in its own facilities. It is not industrial catering. Dedicated kitchen teams are hired specifically to prepare the menus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Home-cooked food<\/h3>\n

Traditional recipes, fresh produce. Dishes are prepared daily; nothing is served from external pre-packaged sources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Local produce<\/h3>\n

Where possible, products from the camp’s local area: fruit and vegetables from a nearby supplier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Balanced menus<\/h3>\n

A weekly combination of proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables designed to match the physical activity load of the camp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Allergies and intolerances<\/h2>\n

Menus are adapted for allergies and intolerances<\/strong> declared by the family on the registration form. The kitchen follows a protocol of separate preparation, and a designated person keeps a record of the special dietary needs for each session. It is essential to notify the team in advance when registering so that the alternatives can be prepared.<\/p>\n
