You’ve likely experienced a holiday season or two where the camp meals were either a delightful surprise or just what you expected. Maybe the cooks really stepped up their game or perhaps it was the same old routine. We’d love to hear if your mine-camp holiday food has evolved over the years!
 
One year, our cook surprised everyone with homemade pies, and it totally changed the vibe. Before that, our holiday meals felt pretty similar season after season.
 
At my first camp, holiday dinners were just okay—like slightly upgraded everyday meals. But gradually, the crew began adding little things that brought more of a festive spirit.
 
I recall a time when holiday meals were pretty routine and, to be honest, a bit boring. Then a new kitchen team came in, shaking things up with roasts, desserts, and themed nights. It changed the whole camp vibe each December.
