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!

 It is time to start thinking about summer camp! In 2012 Twin Cities ROCK's Gluten Free Fun Camp will team up with Friendship Ventures in hosting our big week at Camp New Hope in McGregor, Minnesota: Sunday, August 12- Friday, August 17, 2012. If you have a child with celiac disease this will be a treat -- a camp experience like none other! Campers get all the whole package: cabins, swimming, AND the entire menu is gluten-free. No one feels left out or different.

A partnership between Twin Cities R.O.C.K. volunteers and Camp New Hope Gluten-Free Fun Camp allows the food part of a celiac lifestyle to become secondary to having fun. At school, parties, and other camps, these children spend every day carefully planning meals, reading labels, considering food options, and eating something different than most of their peers. At Gluten-Free Fun camp, all of the food is gluten free and carefully prepared to ensure safe eating for the campers leaving no reason for the campers to wonder “can I eat this?”
