Camp Celiac in full swing
  Vendor Fair in the dining hall 7/28/12 Foam Dance Pit new this year!
(Photos by Pamela Walton)
Camp Celiac at Camp Arroyo in Livermore (www.celiaccamp.com) is experiencing another wonderful year. It's hard to say who is having the most fun, between the excited campers, the delighted parents, the generous vendors, the enthusiastic director and counselors and the amazing staff of The Taylor Family Foundation and the YMCA. Judging from the foam pit, I think it's the campers.
