Description
A camp for children diagnosed with diabetes. Provides an opportunity for children and teens with diabetes to meet others who face the same challenge, and offers respite from daily demands for the family. Offers a chance for campers to learn/improve their self-management skills in a supervised setting where campers can feel at ease and "accepted" in a community where having diabetes is the rule, not the exception. Need-Based Financial Aid available.
Offers two separate week-long sessions per year: Session 1 for ages 13-17 and Session 2 for ages 7-12. Camp is held at the Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus in Rush, NY. Camp grounds include an Olympic size swimming pool, nature trails, athletic fields, and a fishing pond. Activities include: rock wall with zip line, tree house, arts and crafts, drama, music, and a splash pad.
