Food Allergy Center: Events

Food Allergy Summer Camp

Children’s Food Allergy Camp is the best place in the world for kids who have food allergies. Campers, ages 7 to 15, have fun, increase their confidence, affirm their virtues and build lifelong friendships.  Food Allergy Camp is held at Camp Sweeney in Gainesville, Texas.

Food Allergy Camp starts August 12-16 2013 and applications are available today! This year we are not only accepting children with food allergies, but their siblings and friends are welcome as well. The application deadline is May 31, 2013.

At camp, having a food allergy is just another part of life.  The registered dietitian from the Children’s Food Allergy Center creates menus individually tailored to each camper’s need. The top eight allergens-- milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish -- are avoided completely at camp.  Tasty and safe meals are prepared for the kids along with two snacks daily.
