What if my Child has a Peanut Allergy? Can you Accommodate that at Camp?

3/3/2022

One of the common questions parents ask us about camp involves food. The first thing to note is that campers are provided three healthy meals per day, every day they're at camp.

But what about food allergies?

Camper with food allergies or other dietary restrictions are always accommodated. However, we wanted to specifically address peanut allergies here, because this seems to be one of the more common food allergies campers have.

In fact, we received an email from a parent today whose daughter has a serious peanut allergy. The allergy is so severe she can't eat food that is not processed in facilities shared with peanuts, or cooked in the same kitchen as peanuts, etc.

​In this case, it's important to note we do not cook with peanuts for our campers and guests, however, we do have peanut products in the kitchen. As we have staff that live on site, they cook with peanut products. There are also some products that are processed in facilities that have peanuts in our kitchen.

So even though we do not serve peanut products for camp meals, in this particular camper's case she probably would not be a candidate to attend Aloha Beach Camp Hawaii, simply from a food safety standpoint. 

If your child has any food allergies or dietary restrictions you are concerned about, please let us know so we can walk you through the steps we'll take to keep your child healthy and safe.
