Summer camp and especially overnight summer camp can be tricky on a gluten-free diet. There are many great camps that are not specifically gluten free but can accommodate the gluten-free diet.
There are also many camps that offer a 100% gluten-free camp experience. Gluten-free camps are typically sponsored by a celiac or gluten-free related group, not the camp location. Gluten-free camp is held for one or two sessions during the summer.
Below is a list of camps that are 100% gluten free or use a special gluten-free kitchen or take other special precautions to ensure a gluten-free camp experience. If you’re thinking about sending your child to one of these camps, be sure to book early as most do fill up.
Note: This camp listing is provided for informational purposes. Neither Boston Children’s Hospital nor Celiac Kids Connection endorses these camps. All information is shared in the spirit of community dialogue to provide information for patients with celiac disease. It remains important that you ensure the GF status and protocols used by the camp before registering.
