Hello Adults,
With this week being the parent/scout summer camp mandatory information
meeting, here is one more form you may need.
SPECIAL DIET INFORMATION
Spirit of Adventure Council strives to make a stay at camp as enjoyable as
possible for all Scouts and leaders, regardless of any dietary restriction that
they may have. We recognize the concern that a parent or leader may have when
sending a Scout with a food allergy to camp, especially for the first time. We
will work closely and individually with all parents to insure that special
dietary needs are met in a healthy, nutritious and enjoyable way. Our Food
Service Team is trained to recognize and work with most common food allergens.
We have experience dealing with allergies related to peanuts and tree nuts,
grains, soy, fish and shellfish, as well as lactose and gluten intolerance.
NUT ALLERGIES: Spirit of Adventure Camp Dining Halls are Peanut and Tree Nut
Free environments. Sunflower Butter is available at every meal as a meal option
for Scouts and Leaders. BE ADVISED THAT THE CAMP TRADING POSTS MAY HAVE
PRODUCTS WITH NUTS IN THEM.
We understand that some Scouts have specialized diets due to health, religious*
or personal reasons. We will make an effort to meet these needs to the best of
our abilities provided adequate notice is given. We offer a vegetarian offering
at every meal to those giving advanced notice.
If a Scout or Leader has a severe condition that requires them to consume a
diet of highly specialized foods we encourage them to provide us with those
foods and we will gladly store and prepare them for you.
Parents or leaders are welcome to contact Zack at Zshepherd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to
discuss an individual’s special dietary needs or set up a meeting with one of
our camp Chefs to discuss any needs on the day of their arrival. We ask that
anyone with special dietary needs fill out the following form and return it to
the Zack Shepherd at least 2 weeks prior to your stay at camp.
We won't let anyone go hungry. Therefore, each meal has a number of options so
that even picky eaters can find something to eat. Typical options for breakfast
include fruit and cereal. Typical options for lunch and dinner include
sun-butter & jelly and a salad bar. If a Scout is having a particular problem
finding something to eat in the dining hall, his leader can speak with the
kitchen staff to make sure that he is eating enough throughout the week.
*Our camps do not keep kosher kitchens. Meals that do not meet with a Scout's
kosher requirement will typically have the meal substituted with the vegetarian
offering. Other arrangements can be made if this does not meet your needs.
