🏕️ Registration & Enrollment:
When does registration open?
2027 camper applications open November 17, 2026. Camp is for ages 7–17 with celiac disease and/or gluten intolerance. Siblings are welcome to apply and will be accepted as space allows, with priority given to campers with celiac disease/gluten intolerance.
Is financial assistance available?
Yes! Need-based scholarships are available. Email us to discuss your family's needs.
❤️ Health, Safety & Support
What medical care is available?
Our licensed nurse team is on-site 24/7 under the supervision of our Medical Director.
We also have a Camper Support Team to provide additional emotional and social support throughout the week.
What about medications?
All prescription and over-the-counter medications are securely stored and administered by our medical team. Medication instructions and required forms will be provided before camp.
Can you accommodate other dietary needs?
Yes. Camp Weekaneatit is gluten-free and nut-free, and we can accommodate many additional food allergies and dietary needs when provided in advance.
☀️ Life at Camp
What do campers do?
A lot! Activities may include swimming, water sports, biking, hiking, sports, arts & crafts, STEM, nature activities, campfires, talent shows, team building and more.
Our programs are designed for different age groups, with leadership and independence opportunities for older campers.
What if my child gets homesick?
That's completely normal. Our trained counselors and Camper Support Team are experienced in helping campers adjust, make friends and feel at home.
What should my camper bring?
Families receive a detailed packing list before camp with everything they'll need for the week.
🛏️ Cabins & Camp
Community Cabins are organized primarily by age/grade and gender identity to create a comfortable and supportive experience. Cabin-mate requests may be submitted for campers in the same age/grade group but cannot be guaranteed.
Camp Weekaneatit is built around kindness, respect and belonging. Campers and staff are expected to treat one another respectfully, including using each person's preferred name and pronouns.
🌧️ What If Plans Change?
Rain doesn't stop camp! We have plenty of indoor activities, games, crafts, team building and recreation.
For medical, weather or other emergencies, we have established procedures in place. Parents/guardians will be contacted regarding any serious situation involving their camper and must be available to pick up their child if our medical or camp leadership team determines it is necessary.
💚 Our Counselors
Our volunteer counselors are screened, interviewed, background checked and trained and managed onsite at camp. We look for caring, dependable people who love working with kids and helping them have an incredible camp experience.
Many of our volunteers have camp experience or interests in education, psychology, social work, nutrition, healthcare and related fields and can use this camp counselor experience as an addition to their resume.
To help campers build independence, confidence and connections during their time at Camp Weekaneatit, parents or guardians of children attending the current camp session may not serve as counselors. This policy allows campers to fully participate in the camp experience, develop relationships with their counselors and peers, and gain independence away from home.
We greatly value parent involvement and welcome parents to support Camp Weekaneatit through other volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
