Allergy Letter to Parents

To Parents/Guardians of CAMPERS IN CABIN #:

There is someone in your child’s camp session who has a severe allergy which can cause an anaphylactic reaction. An anaphylactic reaction is an allergic reaction so severe that is can cause death. The child in your child’s group has a severe allergy to: NUTS/PEANUTS. Because the child can react to trace amounts, inhaling or ingesting even minute amounts can trigger a life threatening reaction. Emergency treatment involves an immediate medication injection (the camper with the identified life-threatening allergy will be wearing their Epi-pen in their fanny pack) and an immediate trip to the hospital.

The child with this allergy is showing admirable restraint and maturity in dealing with his/her problem by refusing offered and tempting foods during snack, sharing time, or lunch hour. All of us need to do what we can to provide this child with a safe camping environment.

We respectfully ask that you not send food products to camp that contain NUTS/PEANUTS, remembering to check ingredients carefully. Your support in this important matter is, of course, deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,

Sari Grossinger

Director of Camper Relations
