Why are nuts and nut products not permitted at Summer Day Camp?
For the safety of all our campers, Summer Day Camp strives to provide a nut-free environment. This means that parents must exclude all nuts and nut products from all lunches and snacks. Our overnight camps are not a nut free environment. Many children and adults have severe allergies to nuts and nut products. The allergic reaction can include anaphylactic shock, a reaction that, if left untreated, can cause death in a matter of minutes. Some peopleís allergy to nuts is so sensitive that even coming into contact with trace amounts of nuts or nut products can induce this severe reaction. Many of our day campers come to us with these allergies and others may have these allergies and not yet know it. Hence, Summer Day Camp has adopted a policy prohibiting nuts and nut-products. We require and appreciate your cooperation in ensuring our camp is nut-free.
