Subject: Summer Camp for children

with Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance

Please pass along the

information below to the members of your Celiac Group. Thank

you for helping to make this Camp a reality for our kids.

Mark your calendars for the first annual (hopefully)

Overnight Summer Camp for Kids with Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance in California. The

camp will be held August 20-23, 2007

at Camp Arroyo

in Livermore, California

..

The Family Foundation and the Celiac Sprue Research Foundation are sponsoring

an old-fashioned overnight summer camp with swimming, horseback riding, arts

and crafts, field sports, a ropes course and, most importantly,completely

gluten free meals and snacks. The camp is for kids ages 9 to 17 and is

FREE, except for a $25 registration fee.

To make this Camp happen we need to know as soon as

possible how many kids are interested in attending. If your child is

interested, please send an email to campceliac@... with the name, age, gender and

address of the interested camper. We have to give priority to kids in Northern California,

but, space permitting, we will be able to accommodate kids from other

areas. Please pass along this information to anyone who might be

interested.

We also need volunteer counselors, ages 18 and older, to supervise and have fun

with the kids. While the counselors need not be on a gluten free diet,

one BIG advantage of being a counselor is being served all those freshly

prepared and delicious gluten free meals. At this time we are looking for

non-parent volunteers. Please ask older siblings, cousins, neighbors and

friends if they would be interested in working with our kids for a few days

next summer.

While camp is many months from now, summer schedules fill up quickly. If

you know someone who is potentially interested in volunteering as a counselor

please have him or her send an email to campceliac@... with name, gender, age,

experience (if any) working with kids, areas of interest (crafts, team sports,

theater, music etc.).
