CAMP MISSION
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.

CAMP DETAILS
This 6 day/5 night summer resident camp has been designed for youth
ages 7-14 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 will welcome sibling's age 7-14 that are not diagnosed with
Celiac Disease, DH, or Gluten Intolerance, however, all food will be
served during camp will be gluten free. We regret we will not be
able to accommodate campers experiencing the physical challenges
associated with Down Syndrome and/or Autism.

CAMP NURSE
We will have a camp RN (celiac knowledgeable) at the facility during
the entire week, and all foods and medications will be gluten-free.
Other dietary restrictions that may be accommodated are casein and
dairy intolerance. All other dietary restrictions should be
discussed with the Camp Nurse, Cheryl Gainer, RN at 214-274-6094, or
gainer@uta.edu BEFORE registering for camp.

REGISTRATION
A Non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to secure your camper's
place. Campers will be registered on a first-come first–served
basis. It is our policy to return all registrations that are not
complete, that do not have the complete deposit, or that have
contingencies. There will be NO refund of deposits. The registration
form and deposit are due now. The remaining balance
must be received by May 1, 2006.
