Considerations and allergies
we take all necessary considerations for special diets and religious needs

Here at Brennabu we go the extra mile so that everyone can go to camp school. One very important part of staying at a camp school is to enjoy good food together with one's classmates. Due to this, we have a strong focus on tasty, healthy and varied food at Brennabu.

Meals at Brennabu

For breakfast the teachers and pupils will be met with a buffet where one can choose what one wants to eat. There should be something for everyone! For breakfast one can also enjoy beautifully cut fruits and vegetables. Lunch is made by oneself, just as large and tasty as one would want. With a great level of activity, one will quickly learn that a large lunch is needed.

Dinners are varied and delicious and is also served from a buffet where one can choose one’s favourites. At Brennabu, every day is a feast, as there is dessert served every single day!  The kitchen staff is ready to help pupils as well as adults should there be specific needs related to the food, no matter what it may be. If something is unclear or there are other questions regarding food and meals, feel free to contact us.

Diets and allergies

Pupils and adults with food allergies must inform the school. The schools will then send a diet list to us. We will then tailor make an allergy- and religious friendly menu. We can for example make food with halal meat for the pupils who needs this, and we have several glutens- and lactose free alternatives. We do not use nuts in our meals. In case of particular allergies, it is preferred if the school/parents and the camp school can open a dialog regarding accessibility and need for produce for meals  for the stay.

Diet list

Pupils with special needs

The class teacher shall be oriented about pupils who may face difficulties with certain activities. Our program can be customized to tailor for special needs, handicaps etc together with the class teacher. We do however not have additional resources for spending on individual pupils. Pupils with such needs to be granted such resources from their home county. Good contact with us in advance is crucial in such cases.

“Incredibly delicious and varied food. Really awesome with desserts every day. We could also take as much as we wanted. The people working in the kitchen were warm and nice. Always helping if we would need anything extra.”

“Hello! We would like to thank you for taking on the task of creating ketogenic food for Tomine this week. I figured I had to share the post I shared on the page for those with gluten deficiency: Sometimes things just work, not often, but when it first happens it must be shared.  😃 Tomine just spent last week at a camp school, and they made all the food there. We sent a few recipes, weight and produce that most people do not have in their cupboards. They contacted me in good time, called the first day, and that was that. Such cooperative staff in the kitchen there! It felt scary to send her to camp without prepared food, but it went great! 👍🏻 Go Brennabu camp school🤩😀”

Sickness/allergy

In cases where it is necessary for pupils to consult with a medical doctor during the stay the camp school, we will have to requisition a taxi to and from. In case of a medical consultation, we will need a full id number – 11 digits. We ask that the accompanying teacher makes sure that such information is brought with, or is easily accessible.

Medication

Class teachers/accompanying leaders is responsible for following up on medication in cases where pupils will need this. The camp school does not have competence or responsibility for pupils’ medication and the times this is taken.

A small “mini pharmacy” with plasters, pain killers etc. is a good thing to bring with.
