Because you will be hiking on the trails all day, it is important that you drink plenty of water and eat balanced meals. Our food service staff ensure that you have hearty and nutritious meals that nourish you for an active outdoor program. 

At all meals you are expected to bus your own dishes and help reduce waste. 

Yosemite Institute will provide all lunches. You will help carry the group's lunch each day and you will eat it on the trail. Imagine eating your lunch while watching a cascading waterfall, gazing up at Half Dome, or in the shade of a 1,000 year old Giant Sequoia!

· At Curry Village, you will be served breakfast and dinner buffet-style in the Curry Village Dining Pavilion.  Yosemite Institute participants will be issued colored wristbands to gain entry into the Dining Pavilion (replacing meal cards from the past).  The cost of the meals is covered in the YI tuition and no additional charges will be accrued at the cafeteria. 
· At Crane Flat, you will be served breakfast and dinner prepared by Yosemite Institute staff in our own dining room. Our cooks are known for delicious creations as well as hearty portions!
· At the camp in Wawona, breakfast and dinner are served family-style; all meals here are vegetarian.
