Allergy Camp and Travel

In this episode of Allergy Camp And Travel Ops, we break down the exact steps to secure safe summer camps and travel for kids with food allergies. From vetting camp kitchens to navigating airlines and hotels, learn how to move past vague assurances and gather concrete details on separation protocols, staff training, and emergency responses. Discover practical scripts for calls, the importance of written records, and packing strategies that prevent common failures like expired devices or inaccessible meds.

Key takeaways:
- Prepare a short call script asking camps about dedicated prep areas, cross-contact logs, and staff epinephrine training
- Follow up in writing and contact the airline two weeks ahead for buffer seating with a doctor's note
- Email hotel chefs directly about allergen-free pans and labeling while carrying multiple epinephrine devices plus an action plan in carry-on

These tactics replace assumptions with data, reducing stress once on site.
