“Way To Be Gluten-Free” Kids Day Camp

Way To Be Gluten Free Workshop for Kids

February 13, 2010

10:00 am - 2:00 pm (9:30 check-in)

Cost: $15 per child

This workshop is intended for children aged 6 to 10 years old. Parents are welcome.

PCC Natural Market, Greenlake7504 Aurora Avenue North, Seattle, WA

This fun and practical workshop is designed to empower kids with gluten intolerance to participate in meal planning and preparation. Kids will learn which foods contain gluten, where to look on labels for gluten information and what key words to look for, and then they will apply that knowledge by shopping for gluten-free ingredients in the PCC store. Our goal is to help kids work towards self-sufficiency and to become proactive in their own care. Please make sure that long hair is tied up and use close-toed shoes.

Way to Be Gluten-Free" will be conducted by TAGS teen volunteers (Teen Advocates with Gluten Sensitivities) and Cynthia Kupper, executive director of Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG).
Space is limited to 15 kids. Cost: $15 per child.
