Camp Stories: Accommodating Diverse Diets

Michael JohnsonIt was my first summer at Westwind (2013) and there was a young camper with some pretty serious dietary needs.  She was so scared that she was going to get sick that she skipped her first meal.

I sat and talked with her and we looked at the menu and I told her everything that she could eat and that she didn’t have to be scared. She had a great week.

About 3 weeks ago she was a student with the Outdoor School program and she stopped by the kitchen and said “Well, at least I know I don’t have to be nervous”
