Summer Camps

Snacks – Summer Camp? Summer Fruits!

Hi, I’m Ruth! I will be writing a guest blog column called “Snacks!”

I have always been a big supporter of snack time so when I started at iD Tech Camps, I was determined to provide some seriously tasty goodies to my iD Family. Snacks = happy iDers = happy campers. As a result, this iD Snacks blog was created! (Disclaimer: The creation of an iD Daily Exercise blog might be needed after a few of these entries.)

I know I’m very fortunate to live in California because most fruits are in season year-round. I say “most” because one of my favorite fruits is only around during the summer season. Since summer officially ended last week, these fruits are going to disappear from your local market soon. So on that note, this week on iD Snacks I bring to you FIGS!

Everyone knows what a fig newton is, but not many people (campers and non-campers alike) have eaten fresh figs. My favorite are categorized as kadota figs. They’re small, have a firmer texture than most figs, and are iD Green! These figs are also usually found only at farmer’s markets so eat local, iD!

Unfortunately, these figs are rarely found outside of California since they perish quickly and bruise easily. So the next time you’re in California during the summer, try to snack on these tasty little bulbs.

To further celebrate summer fruits, I brought some fresh strawberries and some apple slices. Fruits are not only tasty, but they’re healthy and full of vitamins! So please eat your fruits, campers and iD Families.

That’s Bonsai enjoying the variety of summer fruits brought to her by yours truly.

Countdown to summer camp and eating summer fruits officially begins now!
