Food Allergy and Sensitivity/Dietary Needs Information
Please complete this form if your child has special dietary needs. You will also be including this information on the health form for our camp nurse. We'd like to gather more details here to share with our kitchen staff and camp counselors.
Are trace amounts of the allergen acceptable? What if your child touches a food that contains the allergen? For example, an egg allergy might mean that a child cannot consume ANY trace amount of egg or it could mean that they must avoid eating eggs when they are served. When a child is identified as allergic, it can mean many different things. We appreciate your help in clarifying the details.
Your child must be able to safely navigate food allergies away from parents in order to be included at Camp St. Charles. Campers often bring snacks and may offer to share them, campers with special dietary needs can be included if they are able to make appropriate choices independently.
