Subject: Sleep away camps that allow nuts
I get it op. My kids are beyond crazy about pbj and also tree nuts. Because they can’t have them in school it’s all they want to eat at home. I wish there was a shot for nut allergies that would help people overcome them. Tree nuts are so healthy and portable.

Honestly, if your kid is that restrictive with her diet and nuts is her only protein intake, sleepaway camp isn’t for her. They are not going to accommodate that at all and will not just make PB sandwiches at every meal just for her and just for her to eat somewhere else.
Sleepaway camp is being flexible and adaptable which doesn’t sound like that fits your kid. They are not going to make special accommodations for 1 kid.
My kid's camp has sunbutter and bread available at every meal. They absolutely try to accommodate picky eaters.
Then your camp is an outlier because with hundreds of kids who can’t be watched constantly all the time, why assume such a big liability risk.
And no the overwhelming majority of camps are not accommodating absolutely trying to accommodate picky eaters. They are just trying to feed the masses of kids.
Sunbutter is a nut-free alternative. It's made from sunflower seeds. (Trying again here, but in the right place this time).
OP said peanuts. She never said sunbutter which is the alternative. I suspect that she tried it and her child rejected it.
She wants a camp that serves PB sandwiches at every meal for her kid to eat. That is not going to happen.
Why are you so mad that OP asked the question?

They absolutely should try to make accommodations for one kid. That’s what inclusiveness is about. For all we know, OP’s
child is ultra picky because she has autism and can’t stand the texture of other foods. Who knows?! But I can guarantee she’s not choosing to be thjs picky.
