Clinics are an integral part of the Stewart program. Several times a week, specialists in their field are in camp to share their knowledge and talents with campers. These may range from well-known sports figures of the past to current World Champions. Clinics are not only held in sports areas, but Stewart also has vocal clinics, horseback clinics, tennis, arts and crafts, arrowhead flaking, fishing, etc...
The Dining Hall known as Dolly's Diner, has tables and benches designed by Roger Rasbach of Houston and constructed from old oak wharfing from Galveston. Paintings and murals by visiting artists such as Woody Gwynn and Walter Bower are hung throughout the large room.
Camp Stewart is known for its outstanding food. Fresh vegetables, homemade breads (including making our own hamburger buns), homemade ice cream...the list goes on. Stewart sends menus home to the parents with camper reports every 10 days. Menus are varied and boy-oriented, but designed to build healthy life-time eating styles and increase culinary appreciation.
All meals are served family style. You have to experience Stewart food to believe it!
Varied and nourishing "treats" are provided campers each day after rest period.
Health of campers is monitored by a nurse who is in residence in the Camp Infirmary. The camp doctor makes weekly visits to the camp, and is always on call. Much of the time a physician, who is also a camper dad, is in residence at the camp.
