Rudi’s Organic Bakery is kicking off a promotion that will send 20 kids to gluten-free summer camp this summer.

The Boulder, Colo.-based bakery, which offers a line of gluten-free products, will send 10 U.S. and 10 Canadian kids to camp via the contest, which is being promoted on the brand’s Facebook page and Web site.

Kids -- and their parents at home -- shouldn't have to worry about what they eat at summer camp, says Doug Radi, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Rudi's Organic Bakery.

“Instead, they should be able to focus on exploring and developing an adventurous spirit,” he says. "At Rudi's Gluten-Free, we're all about living life to the fullest while giving back to the community of fans we've grown to cherish. We're proud to have the opportunity to help 20 kids have their summer camp dreams come true."

From Feb. 18  through March 18, parents with eligible children ages 8-17, can enter the Happy Camper contest by “liking” Rudi's Gluten-Free on Facebook and helping their child submit a 100-word statement on what makes him or her special. Winners will be notified by April 1.

Winning campers in the U.S. can look forward to an experience at places like Camp Weekaneatit in Georgia where campers swim, show off their skills in talent shows and have fun playing team sports, or at Gluten-Free Fun Camp in Minnesota where campers have dance parties, play capture the flag and hike with the nature club.

Rudi's Organic Bakery, Inc., was founded 35 years ago and offers a line of certified organic breads and baked goods which are distributed nationally.
