How nice it would be for her to go somewhere, other than a Round Table
or our house, where she doesn't need to worry or ask about what she's
eating! Here's info that ended up in my email box a short time ago:

Lords and Ladies the age of 7 to15 years on a gluten free diet are
cordially invited to join the Queen and Court of The Great Gluten
Escape for games and all manner of fun in the Land of Gilmont
When: July 11-16, 2010
Where: Camp Gilmont in Gilmer, Texas
What: A celiac camp for children ages 7-15
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.
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 Director, Kelly LeMonds
