Ski and Snowboard Camp Food, Medication and Personal Care

Decide who supplies meals and how allergies and care needs will be handled on the mountain. Arrange qualified review of medication access, records and handovers. Confirm that needed support is available where activities happen, including away from base.

A mountain café may be crowded and may not meet every food need. Decide whether families pack lunch, the camp provides it, or the resort caters. State the plan before booking.

Check allergens, storage, serving arrangements, and who can answer ingredient questions. Do not promise an allergen-free environment unless that exact claim is justified. A camp worker should not guess about a meal supplied by someone else.

Have a reviewed process for medication consent, receipt, storage, access, administration, records, and return. The plan must make needed emergency medication available at the right place, including on-slope activities, within applicable law and training. Locking everything in a distant office may defeat the plan.

Get individual support arrangements agreed before arrival. Discuss communication aids, sensory needs, mobility, toileting, eating, and rest without demanding unrelated personal history. Work with qualified adaptive sport providers when the support or equipment requires them.

Keep health information limited to the people who need it. The teaching group may need to know an action to take, not a full diagnosis. Follow applicable privacy rules for storage and sharing.1

Your task: Check whether a participant's health and care plan still works when their group changes terrain or returns early.
