	OSE will provide lunch and dinner. Breakfast is on your own. We will have a grill and sandwich bar where you can serve yourself - for lunch. For dinner, we will also continue a salad bar and provide some catering. ~~Liited~~ catering is available from local restaurants. However, since we’re in an isolated area, the number of restaurants available and the quality of the food may not be what you’re used to. There are only 3 restaurants in the area that do catering: a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, and a Subway. Another option is for us to provide the ingredients and allow participants to self-organize dinner preparation (which means some of you would volunteer to cook for the group). Upon registration, we survey the group to find out what is the preferred option.		OSE will provide lunch and dinner. Breakfast is on your own.
