On average, we serve over 250 people per meal at Camp Tejas with some meals during summer camp exceeding 550. The
current indoor seating capacity of the dining hall is 170. In most cases, our dining situation creates a very crowded and uncomfortable
dining experience for our guests. We alleviate some of the difficulty and congestion by serving meals in conference rooms, staggering
meal times, and providing outdoor seating. The Dining Hall Expansion Project will provide indoor seating for up to 400 guests and outdoor space for an additional 200. Conference room catering will always be an option for our guests, but it will no longer be a necessity.
