Camps Daily Routine
We begin with a structured morning routine from 10:00 to 10:30 am. We will feed and water the cow, pony, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese, then collect the eggs. At 10:30 we provide a snack. The snack will be gluten free and fit the day's events. Afternoons begin with lunch at 12:00 noon. After lunch we have a less structured time for reflection and review of the day's lessons through art projects and free time. Campers are provided with log books to write or draw pictures about what they are learning and experiencing.

The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network

We walk to find a cure for food allergies and to fund research and education programs.
We walk to increase awareness of food allergy and the effect it has on a community.
We walk to provide understanding, hope, and an opportunity for a child with food allergy to simply be a child.
We walk to save a life!

Over the years, FAAN has been at the forefront of progress in food allergy research. Findings from research studies have been used to change federal and state laws, improve school policies, raise public awareness, improve the daily lives of individuals with food allergy, and provide education for patients, caregivers, and health professionals.
