Thanks to these hard working guys and gals, we eat! The entire Food Services staff is divided into several smaller crews designated to certain duties around the ranch. The Summit staff work in the kitchens of both CHQ and PTC. The Dining Hall staff consists of two groups, one rotating between working the CHQ staff and camper dining hall, and the other at PTC. The Commissary guys contribute to food services by delivering popular foods to the back country camps and as well as restocking trail meals for campers along their treks. This friendly bunch helps keep our tummies full and happy daily! Many thanks!!!
