My DD (8yrs) is going on her first Brownie camp in a few months time. It's one of those residential, bunk-bed dorm type places. For 2 nights. About an hour and a half drive from home. First time away from us, apart from gran's.
She's anaphylactically allergic to all nuts and carries 2 Epipens at all times. She knows how to use the pens, as do all the leaders going.
I'm having a meeting with the leaders well in advance of the trip to go over food and the issues of cross-contamination etc etc. The girls will be involved in cooking and cleaning up.
Brown Owl will send me her Tesco list to 'approve'.
Not scared to admit I'm freaking terrified already. My girl is a sensible, timid wee soul but I know she will love Brownie camp, so saying no now isn't much of an option (and I've bloody paid in full already).
Any help/advice from fellow allergy parents will be very much welcomed!
