Celiac-Friendly Summer Camps

[eleep]

In case anyone is interested in finding a summer camp that's safe for a celiac kid to attend, I'm working for the next six months at Ballibay Camps, Inc. -- which is one campus with several different fine and performing arts programs (as well as more traditional camp activities). We have a new food program (this is our second year) focusing on sustainable whole ingredients that are locally-sourced and organic whenever possible (we also have a camp garden) -- we've been accommodating the needs of several celiacs over the course of the past three summers without needing the kids to bring any of their own food -- kitchen staff are conscientious about avoiding cross-contamination and using alternative grains and ingredients.

The main camp website with our theatre and performing arts program (which includes further discussion of the food program): Open Original Shared Link

Our shorter, more traditional fine arts camp program: Open Original Shared Link

The rock music program: Open Original Shared Link

Our dance intensive: Open Original Shared Link

I can vouch for how great this place is -- I'm returning to teach here for the summer after 14 years away and kids have an amazing time here!

That is so very cool. Thank you for sharing.

Even without the food angle, that looks like a really awesome camp.
