Lunch & Snack
Congressional Camp packs morning and afternoon snacks onto Travel Camp buses before departure.
Campers eat out daily at local restaurants, food courts, or have packed lunches provided by the hosting location. We’ve eaten at Red Robin, Chipotle, Cava, Chick-fil-a, Potbelly, and more in the past. Lunch is included in the cost of the camp.
Transportation
Travel Campers and counselors are transported to each of their destinations via school bus. Snack is typically eaten on the bus during the drive leaving from and back to Congressional. Campers may return to Congressional slightly ahead or behind of schedule depending on traffic or if the planned activities were finished early/late.
