Deanna has been in touch to ask me to promote the GFCF Camp Westminster … This is what she says:
Did you enjoy summer camp as a child? Have you been hoping your child would have the same opportunity to learn and grow in a summer camp environment? This can be difficult, even impossible, if your child struggles with food related health problems. That is why Camp Westminster on Higgins Lake in Michigan (www.campwestminster.com) is offering three GFCF menu opportunities for camp in 2009.
- June 21-27 will be a week of traditional camp
- June 28-July 1 will be mini-camp
- July 1-5 will be family camp.
The specialty foods prepared for camp will be free of gluten, casein, milk, lactose, wheat, oats, rye, barley, peanuts, and derivatives of these foods. There will be milk to drink for those who use milk. If your child has other food sensitivities, contact us to discuss accommodations. Whether your child has allergies, sensitivities, or intolerances, we hope to meet their needs. Food preparation will be handled by people with experience in special needs cooking. If you have food related camp questions, please contact Deanna at dkseng99@voyager.net. See Living Without for an article about Camp Westminster!

I’ve written a book summarising what we’ve learnt over 20 years of dealing with the gluten free diet, and it might be just what you’re looking for. It packs the lessons we’ve learned into what I hope is a helpful and straightforward guidebook. It’s available on Amazon, as a paperback or for your Kindle… |
Thanks for sharing the information on the summer camp in Michigan. I’ll definitely share it with our support group members!
Here’s a list of other gluten-free camps in the U.S.
