Meals

Our past participants consistently rate the food as one of the best reasons for living on campus. Our all-inclusive room and board price entitles you to all-you-can-eat meals that provide enough options for even the pickiest palate. Meals are served three times a day beginning with dinner on registration day and ending with lunch the last day of the program. For participants, sharing experiences with other registrants, their family members, and instructors can add greatly to the pleasure of a stay at Colby. All meals are served cafeteria-style in a College dining room. Choose from an excellent variety of foods and indulge in unlimited servings. The popular salad bar and the self-serve ice cream corner will return again this summer. Many programs also feature an authentic Down East lobster bake with all the trimmings, held at Johnson Pond on the Colby campus. Casual clothing is appropriate for all occasions. The Blue Light pub is open some evenings and serves a selection of beer, wine, and liquor.
