UPDATE : We have been able to secure lunches for the students on the mountain now so they will be able to eat 3 meals per day. This means that they do not need to pack food for lunches or have money to buy on the mountain. However, if students wish to snack above the provided breakfast, lunch and dinner, they will need to provide this for themselves.
