Diabetes Camp: A Home Away from Home

Ah, summer camp. Many of us have fond memories of camp when we were younger. Swimming, building fires, horseback riding, making friends—these are what a boy or girl will remember for a lifetime. If your child has diabetes, though, thinking about sending him or her off to camp without your supervision might make you very nervous.

My parents sent me on a diabetes camps a year after I was diagnosed. I loved it from a holiday perspective and a chance to meet people just like me. – Very important when you are 12. Contact your local Diabetes Federations for camps near you
