Food Allergies
None of the meals or snacks served at Outdoor School will contain peanuts or tree nuts. For most other food allergies, in most cases we can provide your child with an alternative option if there is something in a meal or snack item they are allergic to. Please note any allergies on the Health History form.
Other Food Restrictions
​Food and snack options at Outdoor School are abundant. Alternative options are available at every meal for vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free needs. Students who do not eat pork or red meat may choose the vegetarian option during those meals. If your student has additional specific dietary considerations, Outdoor School will work with you to accommodate for them. Please note these restrictions on the Health History form so our kitchen staff can anticipate quantities. 

You may send (nut-free) supplemental or replacement food for your child if necessary; please contact Tom Eby ([email protected] / 503-257-1606) to make arrangements for this in advance.
