Meals
A dietitian-created and chef-prepared menu of low protein meals. After completion of registration, you will be prompted to preselect a low protein menu for any camper requiring a low protein diet. This is a great time for your child with PKU to try new foods! Low protein and protein free snacks will also be provided. If there are siblings without PKU, they will be allowed to eat from the regular meal line. Parents are not permitted to pack snacks for their campers; all food and snacks will be provided by the camp.

Formula (Medical Food Product)
Formula will be prepared each night before dinner by the camper. Your child’s counselor and our Camp PHEver dietitians will be there to assist in preparing formula; however, we expect the formula to come measured and divided per directions below:

Bring enough formula and medication to last six days (five days of camp + one extra day for emergencies)
Bring at least three mixing containers for mixing formula
Pre-measure and label formula for each day in separate sealable/Ziploc bags. Label bags with the camper’s name and cabin number. You should have six labeled bags of formula with your child’s name and cabin number on them.
Divide formula per day, not per meal. The entire day’s formula will be made at one time and the camper will be able to separate the formula out at each meal.
Bring any special ingredients (soda, juice, sugar, Koolaid, etc.) which are used to mix in formula. Label with the camper’s name and cabin number. You may mix dry ingredients into formula prior to camp.
Bring your medical food product (formula) to camp with you. Please do not mail formula.
We will offer water to mix with powdered formula. Formula will be kept in refrigerator overnight and between meals.
Mixing bottles should be large enough to hold the entire day’s worth of formula. Please label all bottles and lids with the camper’s name and cabin number to avoid lost items.
Please bring all formula in a large bag (grocery bag or paper bag) with the camper’s name and cabin number on the outside of the bag.

Sunday Dropoff
If your child has formula to finish on Sunday, after being dropped off, please provide the formula to the dietitians at check in. It can be placed in the refrigerator or on the cabin table until dinner.

If you have any questions regarding diet and formula, please email [email protected].
