Re: Peanut Allergy Management- Day camp
Not really so different! Is the girl's school peanut-free, or just her classroom? That will be your best guideline. If the school is peanut-free, you may want to consider making day camp peanut-free--even if the school isn't peanut-free on her behalf. If she regularly goes to a school where other students are eating peanuts, it seems safe enough for camp too. If her school is peanut-free, even if it's not "because" of her, you're moving into uncharted territory.
Are lunches or lunch items ever consumed outside of the regular lunchtime? I'm guessing no--so a good handwashing after lunch should be protective enough as far as the different activities go (to avoid the situation of a girl in another group with peanut butter on her hands using the bow and arrow before the allergic girl, etc).
I have only done resident camp, and we routinely call "peanut free week" if we have a camper come in with a severe allergy. We just have too much mixing up of groups, especially in the dining hall.
