Dining Hall
Completed in 1994, the Patterson Lodge is Camp Old Indian's dining facility. It features dual cafeteria-style serving lines. The Dining Room seats approximately 425 persons.
1. Units will be assigned tables on Sunday afternoon and will sit at these tables for every meal.
2. Table waiters will be assigned for every table and will serve for three meals beginning Sunday evening, then rotating with other Scouts in the troop.
3. Table waiters will report to the Steward at the dining hall road side entrance at 7:45 a.m. for breakfast, 12:15 p.m. for lunch, and 5:45 p.m. for dinner.
4. Table waiters will set up their Troop seating area before meals, and will clear the table and surrounding area after meals.
5. After the meal, no one is to leave the dining hall until the Steward or a Dining Service Staff Member dismisses them.
Most unit tables will have a seat reserved for a Camp Old Indian staff member. The table waiter should pick up the totem for the staff member he wants and place it at his table. Totems allow for positive interaction between the Staff and Scouts.
No wet bathing suits, chewing gum, hiking staffs, book bags/backpacks, or flag poles are allowed in the Dining Hall due to health and safety reasons.
Dining Hall menus are well-balance and designed to feed hungry boys. In addition to the main entree offered at each meal, other options are available for those with special dietary needs. Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches are self-serve and available at all meals. There are two salad bars in the Dining Room and are se-up at most noon and evening meals.
If you have a special dietary need such as a food allergy or religious restrictions, please contact the Dining Service Director prior to your arrival at camp. You may contact via e-mail here. Please include you name, contact information, troop number, and the week you will be attending
