MISSION STATEMENT

The Great Gluten Escape will provide each camper with an opportunity to participate in all camp activities without concern for the gluten content of the food provided. The camp will provide an environment that encourages peer support and escape from the daily peer pressure of the ¡°I can't have that¡± syndrome.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CAMP

If you have questions concerning your child's situation and would like to discuss them with a staff member prior to registration, please use the Contact Page. From the contact page you are able to send an email with your questions, or you may contact the Camp Director, Kelly LeMonds via telephone.

CAMP DETAILS

This 6 day/5 night summer resident camp has been designed for youth ages 7-15 with dietary restrictions related to Celiac Disease, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, and/or Gluten Sensitivity/Intolerance. This is the camp where you can escape from the gluten loaded world we live in. For one week you will no longer have to worry about gluten!

Camp Gilmont located in Gilmer, Texas approximately 2 hours east of Dallas , Texas . The camp comes with all the normal camp events and activities.  Each camper will experience all of the excitement of a summer resident camp, including S'mores by the campfire!

We welcome siblings whom are also of the age 7 to 15 that are not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, DH, or Gluten Intolerance, however, only gluten free food will be served during camp. We regret we will not be able to accommodate campers experiencing the physical challenges associated with Down Syndrome and/or Autism. Effective in 2009, we regretfully announce that we will no longer be able to accept diabetic campers.

CAMP NURSE

We will have a camp RN (celiac knowledgeable) on facility during the entire week, and all foods and medications will be gluten-free. Any questions about medicine or camper care should be discussed with the Camp Nurse , Cheryl Gainer, RN at 214-274-6094, or nurse@greatglutenescape.org BEFORE registering for camp.

NOTE: Effective with the previous Great Gluten Escape camp in 2009, we will no longer be able to accommodate any special dietary restrictions other than the gluten free, casein free and nut free. Please click here for more information.
