    We had a great morning Kayak tour of the Great Camp Sagamore! Our guides Abby and Kim were the best and the views were relaxing. We bought the lunch plan so we could experience the history of the great dinning hall and all the dining staff were great, friendly and very helpful in working around some important food allergies. Unfortunately the food offerings were less than desirable for healthy eating and allergic reactions. If possible a menu would've been a very good idea at time of registration to see what was being offered.
