From Our Families

Had an incredible weekend at the Gluten Free camp! My son was so excited to not have to worry about gluten for once. The staff was super friendly and caring. We loved all of the activities as well! There were so many things to do! Thank you so much for giving my kids and all the other campers this opportunity! What special people and a special place!

I just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful weekend. We had an amazing time & are already talking about coming back next year!  You guys really go above & beyond to pull off a great time for everyone. I I have never met nicer staff on a vacation.  1st thing I did when I got home was message two of my friends who have kids with celiac & told them they MUST go next year.  I can’t express how thankful we are to have had this amazing opportunity.  I hope you realize how truly important & special what you do is.

“The gluten free items were absolutely delicious! Max loved the chefs who built a personal relationship with him and found the food delicious and of great variety!

His friends that were not gluten free were envious”.

“As a mom of a daughter with Celiac, having the gluten free program available at the NJY camps has been incredible. To know that your child will be safe, in regards to what she eats, truly puts my mind at ease. In addition to the gluten free meals, our daughter has enjoyed and participated in the gluten free cooking class activity each summer. She loves being able to bake or cook with friends and know that she is safe. The sense of normalcy and the comfort that the camp brings in helping the GF kids not feel different is also something to be noted. Food plays such a big role in socializing and for those with celiac, and also those with allergies, this can be a huge stress. Thankfully, at camp, this almost becomes a non issue. In fact, rumor has it that the GF food is so good, that the non GF kids want in on the food! Thank you for creating this program, and for doing it with such attention to detail. You have thought of the whole picture, and recognize that gluten free living is not just about the meals in the dining room. I truly appreciate the efforts of the NJY Camps!!”

NJY Camp….. Great gluten free food, good times and where forever friends
(that suffer from Celiac disease as well) are made!

During the weekend, I asked my daughter (Bailey): “What do you think? Do you want to come back next year?”   She paused for a long time, and then replied “No. I want to come back for the next FIFTY years!”  We were delighted by our time there. It was so great for my daughter to be free to participate in EVERYTHING that the other kids were doing and eating, without any concern for her well-being and safety.

“We have been to the NJY Camps GFweekend and loved it. 
Now my kids participate in the camp program every summer.
 Incredible programming that includes athletics, arts, adventure with
 ropes courses and boating, music and science too. The icing on
 the cake is the immaculate kosher and certified GF kichen! 
All meals, snacks, treats are GF and yummy! Jack gets on the bus with
 his skateboard, but we don’t pack any food! This is his home away from
 home! NJY has been a big part of our life. As a mom of a child with Celiac
 and a camp professional, I can honestly say this place is a “slam dunk”!”
