Maine Family Vacation Camp to Hold "Peanut and Tree Nut Allergy" Friendly Week

 
To be of service to families that want to travel, but are normally hesitant to do so due to peanut and tree-nut allergies, Medomak Family Camp in Washington, Maine, is beginning their season with a "nut allergy friendly week," June 22-28, 2014.

Washington, Maine (February 26, 2014) - Travel and outings for families with members who suffer from life-threatening allergies can be so anxiety-ridden, and just plain difficult, that many opt not to travel at all or are severely limited in what they feel comfortable doing.  This is especially the case when the person with the allergy is a younger child.  Simple events as going to a restaurant can be stressful, with all the questions for the kitchen about ingredients and cross contamination, and the underlying fear of whether the staff will be as diligent as you are.
 
Many things that people without these kinds of allergies can easily do are often off-limits to people with nut allergies.  Think baseball stadiums and the long held tradition of 'peanuts and crackerjack'.  Family vacations can often be a similar situation.
 
To be of service to families that want to travel, but are normally hesitant to do so due to peanut and tree-nut allergies, Medomak Family Camp in Washington, Maine, is beginning their season with a "nut allergy friendly week," June 22-28, 2014. They are taking measures to ensure that the kitchen and dining facilities are completely free from nut allergies.  Since this will be their first week, the facility is already cleaned from last season, and will be cleaned again upon opening. There won't be any contaminants, as all food will be nut-free and not processed in facilities that process nuts.  Additionally, there will be a nurse on-site.  Families can hopefully truly relax without the constant fear of allergen exposure.  You can see the description of the efforts they are taking here: www.medomakcamp.com/nutallergyweek.php
