MEAL TIPS.
Meal Tips & Creative Ideas.
Feeding a group at Overflow doesn't have to be complicated—or expensive! With a little planning and creativity, your group can save money, maximize your time, and spend more of the weekend enjoying everything Overflow has to offer. From packing lunches and ordering in to making the bus ride part of the fun, here are a few ideas that have worked well for groups in the past. Feel free to mix, match, and find what works best for your students!
Eat before you leave on Friday, or pack a bag lunch for dinner to avoid unnecessary travel stops.
Make the bus ride fun with games, giveaways, and snack prizes.
Ask students to bring their own snacks for Friday and Saturday night.
Enjoy the continental breakfast offered where you're staying on Saturday and Sunday morning.
Braeside's Tuck Shop and additional pop-up snack locations will be open throughout the weekend.
Pack a bag lunch for Saturday.
Order pizza or send one leader to pick up dinner for the group on Saturday evening.
Grab chicken fingers and fries from a local grocery store hot counter for a quick and affordable meal.
Buy sandwich supplies, salads, snacks, and bottled water in bulk from Costco or another wholesale retailer.
Plan to stop for a meal on your way home on Sunday.
Braeside will have drinking water stations and additional portable washrooms available throughout the site.
Food trucks will be on-site Saturday afternoon, offering lunch and dinner options for those who wish to purchase food.
Want to cook your own meals? BBQs are permitted if your group books a campsite ($25). Campsites can be reserved ahead of time through Braeside or booked upon arrival (subject to availability).
