🥗 Dietary Accommodation Center

Purpose: Use this section to identify participants with gluten-free, dairy-free, diabetic, allergy, vegetarian, or other dietary needs and connect those needs to family meal kits, special shopping items, and Medical & Safety coordination.

Important: Food Committee members should not independently create medical diet plans. Medical dietary needs such as celiac disease, severe allergies, diabetes, or medically required diets should be coordinated with parents/guardians, the participant when appropriate, the Medical & Safety Committee, and the Trek Director.

Participant Dietary Intake

Enter each participant with a dietary restriction or food accommodation. Mark medical restrictions clearly so they are not treated like simple preferences.

Nut / Peanut Allergy Avoid shared nut ingredients and cross-contact. Label clearly. Coordinate with parent/guardian and Medical & Safety for severe allergies.
