Who thrives here Ages 9–17

Camp Celiac is built for middle-school campers — an age where leadership tracks, deeper specialization, and identity exploration take over from generalist day-camp formats. specialty programs that thrive at this age publish a clear weekly progression rather than a rotating activity menu, and the staff-to-camper conversation usually matters more than the activity list.

Frequently asked about Camp Celiac

How much does Camp Celiac cost?
Camp Celiac publishes $25/week for the standard session. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
What are Camp Celiac's hours?
Camp Celiac runs 24-hour residential. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
Who runs Camp Celiac?

Does Camp Celiac provide lunch?
Camp Celiac does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
