Diabetes Care at Summer Camps
Attending summer camp can be a rewarding experience for children with type 1 diabetes and an opportunity for them to build their confidence and diabetes self-management skills. Diabetes camps are built to cater to the medical needs of children with diabetes. With proper communication, education, and resources, traditional summer camps can provide the same benefits.
