The Kids Day Camp is designed to have children meet other children that are
dealing with the same lifestyle changes that come with Celiac Disease. With the
social interaction at the camp, they can see that they are not alone and gain
knowledge about the disease that - is for life. It will be a great weekend to
relax and know that everything they eat is safe. The full schedule and
