I?m currently working for a camp that is doing Family Style in an effort to help build a family feel to camp. The camp I use to work for used a Served Buffet Line. After my first summer with family style I didn?t see a great difference in the camp feel. What I have noticed is the food cost is a lot higher with Family Style. I want to make sure all my campers get all the food they want. I just want to make sure we are not throwing away a lot of good food.

Is family style worth the extra money and time? Is there any true downfall to the served buffet line? Do you have any suggestions on how to make meals special well saving money?

Thanks?
