Gluten Free Fun Camp for Kids
R.O.C.K.’s Gluten-Free Fun Camp takes place each summer in partnership with Camp
Courage. The purpose of the camp is to provide children ages 8-17 with celiac
disease a "normal" camp experience complete with all gluten-free food. Gluten-Free
Fun Camp also provides an opportunity for the campers to connect with other kids who
have celiac disease. Camp Courage is located in Maple Lake, MN. About 40 kids
from many different states come each year to experience Gluten-Free Fun Camp.

Monthly R.O.C.K. Support Group Meetings:
At the meetings, members bring a gluten-free snack to pass, along with multiple copies
of the recipe. There may also be gluten-free items for sale that others have
purchased/ordered in bulk. ROCK Support group meetings are a great opportunity to
learn about the latest gluten-free products/companies, gluten-free restaurant options,
and ideas on how to cope with the challenges of the gluten-free diet. We look forward
to having you and you're family in our group and watching your child grow-up gluten-
free!
