SUBJECT: Rodeo UP - Great Gluten Escape Camp - Texas
I wanted to pass along our invitation to the Gilmont Corral! Put your boots on and come on down as we rodeo it up in 2009. For more information or to register for camp, visit www.greatglutenescape.org. Access to a FAQ page is also available.
When: June 14 - 19, 2009 Where: Camp Gilmont in Gilmer, Texas What: A celiac camp for children ages 7-15 MISSION STATEMENT The Great Gluten Escape will provide each camper with an opportunity to participate in all camp activities without concern for the gluten content of the food provided. The camp will provide an environment that encourages peer support and escape from the daily peer pressure of the "I can't have that" syndrome.
CAMP DETAILS This 6 day/5 night summer resident camp has been designed for youth ages 7-15 with dietary restrictions related to Celiac Disease, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, and/or Gluten Sensitivity/Intolerance. This is the camp where you can escape from the gluten loaded world we live in. For one week you will no longer have to worry about gluten!
Camp Gilmont located in Gilmer, Texas approximately 2 hours east of Dallas , Texas . The camp comes with all the normal camp events and activities. Each camper will experience all of the excitement of a summer resident camp, including S'mores by the campfire!
We welcome siblings whom are also of the age 7 to 15 that are not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, DH, or Gluten Intolerance, however, only gluten free food will be served during camp. We regret we will not be able to accommodate campers experiencing the physical challenges associated with Down Syndrome and/or Autism. Effective in 2009, we regretfully announce that we will no longer be able to accept diabetic campers.
Sincerely, Kelly LeMonds, Camp Director
