Being a young child with diabetes really alters your life. In addition to the daily testing/shots/worry, frequently the children don't want their friends to know because they don't want to be different. The parents are concerned about having other caregivers because of the potential consequences if the care isn't managed properly. It's so hard for the parents to give their child the freedoms that they crave.
This summer there is a way to solve these problems. There's a camp being held in Boone, IA for two weeks this summer just for children who have diabetes. They can go away from home for a week and no one has to worry about whether or not they'll be okay. Best of all, it's a place where kids with diabetes get to be like everybody else!
The camp is being held at the YMCA camp in Boone and will offer swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, rappelling, archery and more. The staff will be made up of experienced counselors and expert medical staff. Financial aid is available.
Camp weeks are held from June 21-July4 for 5-17 year olds.
