Many children with diabetes do not have many opportunities to talk with other children who also have diabetes. Children also learn about diabetes management in a fun, outdoor environment. This includes learning about blood glucose testing, administering insulin injections, and meal planning and exercise programs as part of a healthy lifestyle. Camps normally run for a one-week period during the summer holiday season. Campers usually range from age 8 to 14.
Many campers go on to become program leaders at camp.
