The National Allergy Council’s Allergy 250K Adelaide School-aged Kids Camp held from 21-22 March was another big success! We brought together 36 school-aged kids and 12 peer mentors with severe food allergies. Our allergy dietitians and the camp catering staff created a delicious menu while managing 43 different food allergies and other special dietary requirements.
Camp highlights:
The kids engaged in age-appropriate games and adventure activities including flying fox, archery, giant swing, giant games and parachute games.
The interactive health education sessions delivered valuable group discussions with volunteer health professionals including allergy nurses, allergy dietitians and psychologists.
The popular parent Q&A sessions gave mums and dads some helpful advice from a clinical immunology/allergy specialist and a psychologist.
We received so much positive feedback about the camp from the parents and the campers.
