Teen Summit

What's Teen Summit all about?

Living gluten-free as a teenager can feel isolating at times, but you don't have to do it alone! The Teen Summit is your chance to meet other teens who understand the challenges and joys of living gluten-free. Our mission is simple: provide a supportive community where you can be yourself, learn, grow, and make memories that last a lifetime. Each year, we bring together gluten-free teens from across the country to enjoy a variety of activities. From cooking classes that teach you how to make gluten-free meals like a pro, to outdoor adventures that challenge and inspire, every Teen Summit is a unique experience. One year, you might be mastering the art of gluten-free baking, and the next, you could be hiking trails, riding horses, or zip-lining through the trees. The theme changes annually, so there's always something fresh, exciting, and geared toward a wide variety of interests.

What happens at Teen Summit?

The Teen Summit is a dynamic and ever-evolving event, and our 2025 gathering will be no different! While the final details are still coming together, we are committed to providing an engaging and memorable experience for all attendees. Whether it’s a weekend packed with outdoor adventures, or an exciting getaway featuring expert speakers and fun activities near Disney Springs, you can expect a fun-filled and enriching time. Meet other gluten-free teens who understand your journey. Participate in hands-on workshops led by experts in the gluten-free space. Enjoy activities designed to inspire, challenge, and entertain.

What was the 2024 Summit like?

In 2024, the Teen Summit took place in Charlotte, NC, as part of GIG's 50th Anniversary celebration. Teens participated in exciting activities like scavenger hunts and Capture the Flag, while enjoying gluten-free treats like s'mores. The event featured inspiring talks from speakers such as Coral, Kayla King, and Dr. Jason Mendler. The weekend wrapped up with a lively Gluten-Free Fest, offering food trucks, games, and prizes—creating unforgettable memories for all who attended.
