On Tuesday, Twin Cities ROCK kicked off Gluten-Free Fun Camp for 2010.
With 40 campers, Camp Courage is really abuzz with activity from swimming to horseback riding and more! On Wednesday, 18 day campers also came to check out the camp and have some gluten-free fun.
Wednesday Update:
Organizer Katie Radeke reported Wednesday,
"We just got done with lunch and ate burgers on the yummiest buns. To quote one boy: 'Who cares about the burger? These buns are the BEST!' And a little girl said, "This bread is HEAVEN!"
The buns were made from a Cargill mix.
Thursday Update:
Some thunderstorms came through camp (and many other parts of Minnesota) earlier Thursday evening. Here's what organizer Katie Radeke said about how the kids are "toughing it out":
"The kids are safely in cabins eating what we called the 'traveling chocolate fountain'. We drove it [the chocolate fountain] to them on a golf cart due to the weather! Everyone is having fun!!"
Good to hear! Not much time left for camp now. It all ends Friday morning!

ROCK support group meetings help all of the members put faces to names we see in our Yahoo email group. Often the face-to-face conversation is more in-depth, plus we often share great gluten-free treats!
Next Meeting Thursday, September 9th; 7:00 p.m. Fresh & Natural in Plymouth
The meetings are especially good for new members, so they can get the support they need during a challenging time when they may have many questions.

 The 9th Annual Walk Run for Celiac Disease was a huge success on May 15th, 2010. Held again at Holy Family Catholic High School in Victoria, Minnesota an estimated 1,300 people came to participate in the walk and/or run as well as learn more about celiac disease and the gluten free diet.
The event is a fundraiser for the University of Maryland Baltimore's Center for Celiac Research, but one of the other big goals of this event is to build a sense of community among people who have celiac disease -- plus educate them about the latest and greatest in gluten-free foods. And that we did! We had 23 vendors there this year, plus donations from dozens of other food companies at our indoor food fair. One participant commented on our Facebook page, "Awesome walk again this year! My son completely filled up on samples and had a blast!"
