Diabetes Society
California Camping Programs

Since 1974, the Diabetes Society has sponsored camping programs in California for children with diabetes. These camps provide an opportunity for children and young adults with diabetes to go to camp, meet others in their age group similarly with diabetes and gain a better understanding of diabetes. The total experience can help campers develop more confidence in their ability to effectively control their diabetes while enjoying traditional camping experiences.

Our programs are designed to help campers have fun, gain a better understanding of diabetes, develop confidence in effective diabetes self management techniques, and learn and expand social skills: effective communication, interpersonal relations, social values, independence and group living.
