Living with type 1 diabetes can be hard for a child. But they’re not alone. There’s a place where diabetes doesn’t make them feel different – at camp! At Florida Diabetes Camp, all kids living with type one diabetes can build skills to manage their condition, gain confidence and independence, feel included and safe, and find friendships and support that last a lifetime.
Supported by a dedicated team of volunteer physicians, nurses, nutritionists, educators, and administrators, camp is a place where kids can find:
Community where they can meet other people living with diabetes from all backgrounds, learn from their peers, and find friendships that last a lifetime
Adventures where they can have fun, learn, and build their confidence-where diabetes doesn’t have to be a barrier
Management tips and training to help set themselves up for success with diabetes in the future
Professional support from diabetes educators who can provide one-on-one teaching and care
