70| Food Allergy Camp Tips: What No One Warns You About

Hey food allergy mama!

Need food allergy camp tips this summer?

The first time I sent my kid to summer day camp, I honestly didn’t know what I didn’t know. I had the EpiPens packed, the forms filled out, the snacks labeled... but I still had that pit in my stomach wondering—did I forget something that matters?

If you’re feeling that too—or you’re just trying to figure out if camp with food allergies is even a safe option—you are not alone. In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I learned as a food allergy mom after sending my child to day camp. I’ll walk you through the questions I asked, what I packed, and how I prepped both my child and the camp staff.

But I’m also going to tell you about the things no one warned me about—the emotional side, the red flags I noticed too late, and what I’d do differently next time. So whether you’ve already signed up for day camp or you’re still deciding, stick around to the end—you’ll leave feeling more prepared, more confident, and less alone.

I'm cheering for you!
