Required Policies
Before we begin, we would like you to understand and agree to some of the human resource policies that we have in place.
Immunization Policy*
We require staff to be FULLY immunized (per state guidelines) before camp begins. Staff with medical exceptions will be allowed at camp with documentation from their physician. We are sorry, but personal exemptions will not be accepted. In 2024, this INCLUDES COVID vaccinations.
I agree to Camp Granite Lake’s Immunization Policy
Dietary Guidelines*
Providing delicious, nutritious food for our staff and campers is important to us, and we strive to accommodate a wide variety of diets. Our kitchen can accommodate: vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and nut-free diets.
Please note: We can accommodate some special diets and allergies, but not all of them. Limitations are listed below.
– Most of our meals have animal-based proteins (eggs, chicken, beef, for example) and dairy (milk). We offer a salad bar for many lunches and dinners.

– Vegetarians (for example: no meat, no red-meat, no fish) will have the ability to skip the animal-based protein, have access to a salad bar, or be offered the vegan option for that meal.

– At meals where dairy is a core ingredient and can’t be served separately, dairy-free staff may be offered the vegan option.

– Vegan options are available.

– Staff who are gluten-free will be informed of the gluten-containing foods to avoid, and may have access to a salad bar or a gluten-free option.

If any of the following are true, please contact us before filling out this application:

– you have any combination of these diets, like gluten-free AND dairy-free, or gluten-free and vegan. (We are likely unable to accommodate.)
– you have an anaphylactic sensitivity to any food
– you have any sensitivity to soy

Furthermore, I understand that any agreement must be in writing and signed by a designated camp official.
