WE ARE NUT and ALLERGY SAFE
At Manitou we have numerous campers with nut allergies, because we do not serve any food that contains nuts or nut oil. Every single staff member is educated and trained as to the symptoms of anaphylaxis and how to give an epipen. Pictures of children with food allergies of any type are circulated to all head staff and posted in the kitchen, dining hall, office etc. Campers in a cabin of a child with a nut allergy are sympathetic and are very supportive. Finally, we have epipen stations set up at 7 different locations throughout camp making an epipen always available in case a child for some reason was not carrying one and had a reaction. Our education process allows campers with other allergies to various foods, bees, insects, etc to be in a safe environment.
