This summer as in previous summers, we have a number of campers and staff members with serious allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. Our kitchen, Chader Ochel (dining room), and canteen are all nut sensitive.
This summer we will be enforcing the same sensitivity in the bunks. We ask that all parents please check all items carefully before sending any care packages to camp.
Please do not send anything that contains nuts, peanuts, peanut oils or things that have been manufactured in a nut facility. We are also requesting that you do not send any home-baked goods in your packages. Staff will be monitoring the food that comes into the bunk in packages. Any items that we feel may contain allergens and present danger to other children will be confiscated and donated to a local food bank. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and look forward to a wonderful summer.
Please feel free to share this letter with grandparents, relatives or friends that might be sending your child care packages this summer.
