Your support will make a great difference in the lives of children and their families with celiac disease and gluten intolerance.

OUR GLUTEN FREE KIDS SUMMER CAMP AND FAMILY CAMPS CAN ONLY CONTINUE WITH MUCH NEEDED FUNDS.   Thats where we need your help...All funds raised will go directly to fund local camp programs.

Camp Weekaneatit looks like any other summer camp. You can hear the laughter…You wouldn't know it from looking at them, but all of our campers have celiac disease. They're just kids, having the time of their lives at a camp designed especially for them. Georgia Celiac Foundation’s vision on Camp Weekaneatit was to create a camp exclusively for celiac children, where not only could they experience all of the fun that comes with camp activities, but all food would be gluten free!

Camp Weekaneatit will be held June 24-29, 2012 at Camp Twin Lakes, in Georgia.

Celiac Disease can be managed by a gluten free diet. Celiac Disease (CD) is a lifelong inherited autoimmune condition affecting children and adults. When people with CD eat foods that contain gluten, it creates an immune-mediated toxic reaction that causes damage to the small intestine and does not allow food to be properly absorbed. Even small amounts of gluten in foods can affect those with CD and cause health problems. For the United States population, the number that's most often quoted is that nearly 1 out of every 100 people has CD.
