This can include: certain granola bars, peanut butter in any form, bamba, chocolate that contains nuts. Your child can bring food items that “may contain traces of peanuts and tree nuts”, unless there is a child in the bunk with a severe nut allergy. If so, no child in that bunk can even bring in items that may contain traces of nuts”.
