  • Camp Sealth Gluten Free camp week

    GIG will be running their camp during Session 7: August 14th-19th, 2023

    Kids can enroll in any in-camp program during the designated GIG week. Most other special diets can be accommodated in addition to gluten intolerance.

    The Gluten Intolerance Group provides healthy gluten-free alternatives for kids who are gluten intolerant or with gluten/wheat allergies.

    Staff and volunteers from the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) partner with Camp Sealth during one week of the summer to prepare gluten-free meals and snacks for kids with Celiac disease. Food is prepared in a separate, gluten-free kitchen.

  • Camp Celiac (at Camp Arroyo In California)

    Camp Celiac was founded in 2007.  At 138-acre Camp Arroyo, Camp Celiac's campers, counselors, and junior counselors eat delicious gluten-free food and enjoy traditional camp activities such as a ropes course, rock climbing, zip-lining, swimming, archery, arts and crafts, talent share, skit night, and outdoor sports. Three meals a day without having to ask if any of the foods are gluten free is life changing for many campers and staff! Camp Celiac is in person at Camp Arroyo for summer 2023!
