Gluten Free Summer Camp in Indiana
June 26th-June 29th
 
Gluten Freedom Logo

If you have a child between the ages of 9-14 that is on the gluten free diet... Gluten Freedom Summer Camp is the camp for them to attend! 

 

They will also accommodate the gluten free casein free diet and other food allergies and sensitivities upon request (two weeks prior to the start of camp). 

 

The kitchen/facility will ONLY be catering to the kids at Camp Gluten Freedom during this week and this greatly reduces the risk for cross-contamination issues since the only food served during this week will be gluten free! Campers will be able to participate in activities like hiking, swimming, archery and fishing... plus so much more!

 

This year's Camp Gluten Freedom is being held at Camp Jameson. There is room for 48 campers only, and registration is due by June 18th.
