Do you send your kids to summer camp? Have you ever thought about what they are eating? We send our kids to Kanakuk Kamps and while we absolutely LOVE the camp (my husband and I met there!), the values, activities, etc., unfortunately they dont serve the healthiest of foods (the food is chock-full of trans-fats and food dyes). Years ago, my girls felt sick when eating the camp food (daily tummy aches and eczema break-outs), and they asked if I would pack some foods to help supplement so they could enjoy their time away. Weve been doing this for many years, and while its a pain to pack that much food for them for camp, its worth it b/c they can enjoy their time and not feel sick. (The kitchen staff allows kids w/ food allergies/intolerance to store foods in the dining hall fridge.) Heres a list of what we are packing: Veggies and fruits Organic cheese Applegate organic sausages Homemade grass-fed beef jerky (recipe link below) Coconut flour snack cake (recipe link below) Pastured Bacon Bubbies pickles (for some extra probiotics) Organic yogurts Homemade Gatorade (recipe link below) I hope camps will reconsider what they are feeding kids and not just try and go for the absolute cheapest option. If we can change school lunches, surly we can eventually change what our kids are being fed at summer camp. Dont you think? I urge you to call your kids summer camp and ask about the foods and what is being done to help feed the kids real food! If its a matter of a couple $ a day, I bet most parents would gladly pay to ensure their kids ate healthy foods while away from home! deliciouslyorganic.net/grain-free-gluten-free-coconut-cake-recipe-lemon-curd-strawberries-cream/ deliciouslyorganic.net/homemade-beef-jerky-recipe/ deliciouslyorganic.net/homemade-gatorade-concentrate-and-healthy-foods-at-summer-kamp/
