Lunch and Allergy Information

Campers should bring a sack lunch and water bottle. Campers will eat together and be supervised by camp staff.

Please inform Camp Overbrook of any food allergies by accurately completing the registration medical form. We maintain an allergy-sensitive environment and provide allergy-free snacks to those who request them. If a camper has a tree nut/peanut allergy, families will be notified to pack tree nut/peanut free lunches for that session. If there is a child with another life-threatening allergy, please contact the Camp Director to discuss appropriate care.
