The Celiac Disease Foundation is excited to announce that we will send a
limited number of celiac kids to summer camp! A child on a gluten-free
diet may have difficulty at a mainstream camp, but shouldn’t miss out on
the experience. There are several Celiac Camps across the country,
offering celiac children everything from boating, canoeing, swimming, arts
and crafts, low and high ropes challenge courses, adventure programming,
field events, and team work. Most importantly, all meals are GLUTEN-FREE,
including campfire treats and barbecues.

For information regarding age restrictions, camp activities and other
general information, please visit the camp’s website.

Interested campers should submit a one-page essay describing why and how
they feel they will benefit by going to camp without worrying about their
food. Essays can be submitted via email:

must be postmarked or received via email by midnight April 15, 2005.
