Sure, you can go!\u201d But it\u2019s a challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">We live in good times and there has been a lot of progress but we\u2019re not quite there yet. Since there is a rise in allergens in kids, it is reflected in the camp population pushing camps to be better equipped if they want to hang onto their campers. I have inquired about several camps and each has their own system to deal with food allergies and Celiac. Many camps are beginning to recognize and trying to employ the detailed precautions necessary to manage allergies and Celiac.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I used to send my kids to a camp that had a strict peanut policy but did not prepare or handle Celiac food. In order for them to attend this camp I had to pack breakfast, lunch and supper to match the Camp menu each day for the extended time they went to camp. I froze all the meals and sent it up in a huge cooler. It was not easy, definitely time consuming and exhausting to do but I did it! I froze meals in microwaveable containers to ensure no cross contamination and I was 100% certain it was all 100% gluten-free. It\u2019s one way to go! I have to say, it\u2019s easier to count on yourself than to let go and trust others to take the same precautions you do with your own kids. Ok, so I am a bit of a control freak\u2026..but sometimes it works!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The down side besides the obvious extra work? It can upset your child. At the time my son was embarrassed by all the fuss and special treatment at meal time. His homemade meals were better than what the other campers had to eat but somehow he still felt isolated and different. All kids want is to be like others\u2026.and this is what I want for my kids. Don\u2019t you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The trend for summer camps with my kids\u2019 friends led us to our next camp. They had much experience handling gluten-free food as they have had campers with Celiac for over 8 years.\u00a0 I further learned that that there was a rise in the number of campers this year of gluten-free kids. This is important because the more this is an issue, the more the kitchen staff is willing to accommodate them. This is fairly new territory for camps so it\u2019s an ongoing process and learning experience for everyone concerned. I felt blessed that we landed on a camp that was willing to give it their all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Once again, peanut policies were in place so this was not much of an issue. (However, epipens were always worn and extras were never far away).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">After going through a series of usual important questions I was assured all kids with allergies could go to the salad bar first, that Celiacs had their own toaster oven and microwave and that there was cereal, plenty of gluten free bought snacks, etc\u2026that all we had to do was just show up. Of course, slipping into \u201ccontrol freak mom\u201d I did still supply my kids with their favorite snacks\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">My kids were safe this summer and had an amazing time. That is the good news. However, at visiting day I did learn that the kitchen staff this year had changed and was not accustomed to all the ins and outs as the previous years. There was a camp incident of a child being \u201cglutened\u201d. I have to admit, I was upset. Who wouldn\u2019t be? As parents, when we entrust our kids to others, we just want to know that they\u2019re getting the care they need. I go to great lengths to keep my kids\u2019 diet clean for best health, and in one month, they eat gluten by mistake? This is a kink that needs to be ironed out for sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">After this incident took place, a knowledgeable Celiac advocate went to the camp to instill more strict policies and procedures in the kitchen. Stuff happens but it is always harder when we are not with our kids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">What do you do? You teach your kids that this is life and that they are lucky to be in a closed environment that helps them eat safely. But nothing is 100% and mistakes do happen. You can go to a trusted restaurant and you can be glutened. You can buy a gluten-free product on the market and find out it doesn\u2019t meet the Celiac standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">While it is easier to blame the camp, I need to teach my kids how to handle themselves in the REAL WORLD. I cannot shelter them and make them live in a bubble, even though my first instinct is to protect them at any length. Meanwhile, I\u2019m happy (and grateful!) that the standards of the camp\u2019s food policies have risen and I look forward to sending my kids back to overnight camp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Have you had any similar experiences with letting go and trusting others to care for your children while they\u2019re in someone else\u2019s care?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Just remember that each incident in life is one to learn from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Please share your stories with me!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Miriam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cet article n&rsquo;a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 traduit.
