On this episode I speak with Carmen from the Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association who came up with the idea of organizing a sleep away camp for kids with celiac disease. The camp was to have occurred last year, but as we all know, the pandemic changed that. The camp did go ahead this past August and I’m thrilled to be able to talk to Carmen about both organizing the camp as well as being on site to ensure the food was prepared and served strictly gluten free. Carmen has two daughters and they both attended camp, along with some of their friends. Carmen’s daughter, Rosie, has celiac disease, and I was thrilled to be able to ask her what she enjoyed about camp, both the activities and the meals. You can find more information at campceliac.ca
