Youth Day Camp Programs

For Ages 4 to 12

     

Day Camp is the place for fun and adventure, and it provides vital educational experiences for children to learn more about their diabetes. Day campers arrive at camp with a sense of anticipation, and return home in the afternoon with more self-confidence and knowledge of diabetes while having the time of their lives! The program is designed to provide continuous development for the camper who has been to camp before or for the newly diagnosed. Most importantly, Day Camp is one of the few places where children have the opportunity for group interaction with other children their own age, who also have diabetes. The Day Camp site has playing fields, playground equipment and indoor activities such as arts and crafts, group games and education. Staffing includes nurses, dietitians and caring counselors who are devoted to providing a safe environment. Day Camp runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
