Finding A Camp For Teens

[lorraineeischen]

Hi! My son was has had celiac disease since he was 2 yrs. old and he is thirteen years old now. I would like to know if any one knows of a camp in South Jersey, where we live, that he could attend. I would like for him to be introduce to children that have celiac and that he is not alone. Also, does anyone know of a support group in the area that we can attend. Please let me know. This messageboard is great because when my son was first diagnois there was no information about this disease. Lorraine

Don't know of any camps in South Jersey, but if you want him to meet people who have Celiac, tell him to come on this website! I am also 13, celiac3270 is 14, there are many teens- plus there is a board just for teens.

Hi, I'm Jackie and I'm 14 years old. I go to a sleepover camp in the Toronto, Canada area called Wahanowin.

If you're interested, there's me and one other Celiac there:
