At Kajo food is served four times a day; at breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus an evening snack. All meals are served at each subcamp to the participants of that subcamp.
All subcamps will have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options provided. All food will be lactose-free and will not contain any fish or nuts. The food will be prepared offsite. Juice and water will be available at meals.
All participants will need to have their own dishes and utensils.
Food Allergies or Dietary Restrictions
There will be two separate kitchens for more severe food allergies and dietary restrictions. The location of these will be determined later on.
All food allergies and dietary restrictions will need to be reported on your registration info on Kuksa by 31.3.2022. After that, any changes will need to be reported by email to kajo2022@partio.fi. Please note that will might not be able to accommodate all changes as we get closer to the camp dates.
Serving of food
Food is served in the sub-camp kitchens, which require 40 people to help serve the meals. During the camp, every Explorer, Rover, and Adult will help serve the food in order to complete the servings. Everyone will serve food on Kajo, regardless of their assignments. Food is served by each and every one of us!
Food serving is so important that it will bypass the assignment at hand. In other words, you can leave your current assignment to help with the food service at your own sub-camp’s kitchen.
The person in turn must arrive 30 minutes before the meal begins. The kitchen staff will tell them what to do. Those serving food can eat either before och after serving, depending on the situation. The serving shifts for breakfast and evening snack are about 1.5 hours and for lunch and dinner, they are 2-2.5 hours.
- Only attend if you are feeling well. In case you feel ill before, inform your camp unit leader. In case you start feeling ill during your shift inform the kitchen staff.
- Arrive in clean clothes, preferably long trousers, a t-shirt, a hat, and no open-toe shoes. Long hair must be tied up.
- Wash your hands and nails thoroughly, use hand sanitizer and wear the rubber gloves which are provided by the kitchens.
- If you have any wounds in your hands, please redress them right before your shift.
- Follow the kitchen staff’s instructions about portion sizes, the customer may ask for less than the regular portion but not more.
- If you need to sneeze or cough, step away from the food and do so into a napkin or your arm. Rewash your hands and replace your rubber gloves with new ones.
- Do not touch your face or your phone during your shift, if you do so please rewash your hands and replace your rubber gloves with new ones.
- Arrive to the kitchens at least 15 minutes before the meal is to start for instructions. If you arrive 30 minutes before, you will be able to eat before your shift.
- Please be polite and friendly and remember to serve with a smile.
- If you get a question about food allergens, which you do not know the answer to please refer to the kitchen staff.
- All kitchens will have lactose-free, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals, so for those you do not have to go to the special kitchens.
- At the end of your shift please make sure your spot is clean and return all utensils.
- You can always ask for guidance and advice from the kitchen staff.
- Thank you for being so helpful and enjoy the camp!
