The "Quilt for Life" at 2009 Camp De Los Niños

At the 2009 Camp De Los Niños, our campers and staff had the wonderful opportunity to create a quilt square for the Children With Diabetes "Quilt for Life"! This is a national effort by Children With Diabetes to share the personal side of Type 1 diabetes, while increasing diabetes awareness and advocacy. If you'd like to see the square in person, the Quilt is displayed at its entirety at the annual Children with Diabetes Friends for Life conference in Orlando each year.

You can view our quilt square, as well as the 2008 Camp De Los Niños camp picture, by clicking here.

Camp de los Ninos is proud to become part of the Quilt For Life- check it out!
