What if my child has specific dietary requirement?

This FAQ is from the Holiday Programs Management Plan section 10

Finlay Park is under the Food act of 2014 and has a Food control plan in place which is audited by the Waipa District council annually. All Finlay Park meals are planned and prepared in such a way as to provide children nutritional and enjoyable meals.

Children will be provided with Breakfasts, Morning Tea, Lunch and Dinner, with fruit available in the afternoons.

Some dietary requirements can be catered for such as gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian. Other more comprehensive requirements can be catered for if arranged with management prior to camp commencing. This might involve a parent or caregiver supplementing food requirements through frozen meals or pre-packaged food which can be handed over at registration.

Parents/Caregivers are expected to brief staff fully on any food allergies, nutritional requirements or special dietary needs that their children have. This information is recorded on the registration form so that Finlay Park chefs may cater to their needs.

Cabin groups will eat their meals together under supervision of their leaders.
