Abstract
Summer camps create policies and procedures for their programming, food services, communication, and health center. A growing health concern that camps face is food allergies. Some summer camps do not have policies in place to manage food allergies, which can be concerning for those who have potentially life-threatening food allergies. Summer camps provide an opportunity for children to partake in activities outside their comfort zone, socialize with peers, gain independence, and develop important life skills. When one adds managing a food allergy, it can present unique challenges that camps need to know how to navigate.
