Food

Food is very important to our campers. Some kids like a lot of different foods but many prefer a few favorites. No matter what, you’ll find a huge selection at Camp Emerson. Our professional chefs cater to all palates and special diets. We aim to please!

Camp Emerson is “The Food Allergy Specialist”.

• We support all food allergies and special diets.
• We have campers with dairy, nut, wheat, soy, egg and fish allergies.
• Celiac campers have thrived here. Gluten free foods are always available.
• Vegetarians and Vegans will also feel satisfied with the options available.
• We have a Registered Dietician on staff. She works one-on-one with parents to prepare your menu, oversee its implementation and communicates with you during camp.

We work closely with parents to adhere to your requirements. See our Food Allergy Brochure for more details.
