Winter Camp is held annually January - March at Camp Kostopulos up Immigration Canyon in Salt Lake. It consists of 4 to 5 weekend (Friday - Sunday OR Saturday - Monday) sessions. Campers can learn to ski or snowboard at Brighton Mountain Resort up Big Cottonwood Canyon. If you already know how to ski or snowboard you can enjoy the day on the slopes. If you prefer not to ski or snowboard we have activities such as swimming, rock climbing, movies, games and more. You don't have to be a skier or snowboarder to come to winter camp! Gluten-free meals and snacks are provided.

Adult Volunteer Opportunities: Medical Clinicians, Dietitians, Educators, Counselors, and Kitchen help needed for staffing.

For more information, contact FCYD camp director David Okuba at (801) 566-6913 and leave a message. Foundation for Children and Youth with Diabetes formerly offered camps just for diabetic youth, but upon finding that many diabetic youth are also gluten intolerance, FCYD has opened all sessions of camp to any youth, ages 6-18, who require a gluten-free diet. Several teenagers who are members of GIG have attended the camps and report that the camps are a blast.
