Here's FARE's list of camps for 2015
http://www.foodallergy.org/camps/camp-list?Food Allergy-Friendly Camps
There are many camps across the country that are either designed specifically for children with food allergies or welcome campers with food allergies. These camps remove certain allergens from their sites, have instituted procedures for anaphylactic emergencies, and have medical personnel on location who are trained in administering epinephrine. As a resource to parents, this list can be a starting point for finding the camp that is right for their child.
Please note that FARE does not certify, review, or accredit camps. Parents should complete a thorough and independent review of a camp’s practices and procedures to ensure their safety and capacity to accommodate a child with food allergies.
