Food Allergies & Dietary Concerns Statement
We are dedicated to helping campers stay safe and healthy during their time at The Fresh Air Home. Our goal is to provide healthy, nutritious, and flavorful foods to all camp participants. We are not an allergen free facility, but will attempt to work with each family based on the child's individual needs. Families should be aware that the posed risk of allergen exposure is similar to a restaurant, and we cannot guarantee that any of our prepared meals are completely safe for campers with food allergies. If your camper requires a special diet, please contact our team at freshairhomereg@gmail.com at the time of registration to discuss your needs.
*Any child that requires an epi-pen in case of emergencies needs to provide the epi-pen to our nurse at the time of camp drop off.
*Due to health code violations, The Fresh Air Home is not allowed to accept any outside food.
*Food is prepared in large batches for each meal feeding over 100 campers and counselors. We cannot prepare separate meals for accommodating food allergies and sensitivities.
Gluten Free - We are not a gluten free facility and do not provide gluten free meals. When available, we will offer a gluten free alternative. Ie. corn tortilla for tacos
Vegetarian - A vegetarian diet is one that excludes meat, poultry, and seafood, and is made up of mostly plant-based foods. Vegetarian diets can include eggs and/or milk. We do not offer vegetarian options, however we will do our best to make accommodations such as providing a peanut butter sandwich instead of a ham sandwich.
Vegan - A vegan diet is one that excludes any foods that come from animals, including dairy products, eggs, honey, meat, seafood, poultry, and animal by-products like gelatin or rennet. We do not offer vegan meal options.
Dairy Free - If your child has a dairy sensitivity and needs Lactaid supplements, the camp nurse will need to be notified. Lactaid supplements wll need to be given to the nurse at the time of drop off. We do not provide lactose free dairy products. We provide pasteurized milk products.
Peanut and/or Tree Nut Free and Shellfish - We are not a nut free or shellfish free facility and we can not guarantee that there will not be any cross contamination of food products.
