And we also offer the opportunity for children with diabetes to receive special training in a recreational setting. Our goal is to help each camper learn to successfully cope with the disease and learn that a person with diabetes can lead a productive and normal life. Camp Granada is located at the 4-H Memorial Camp in Monticello, Illinois, adjacent to Allerton Park. The campground consists of 250 acres of woods with cabins, dining hall, beach swimming area, recreation shelter, outdoor education center, and boathouse. Activities include volleyball, softball, canoeing, swimming, archery, and arts and crafts.
Scholarships are available.
The medical program . An infirmary is established at the beginning of the camp session and is available for the care of minor illness or injury. The general medical policy is to teach a program of diabetes control on the highest possible level. Our medical staff will give instruction in all phases of diabetes management. Children who as yet do not administer their own insulin injections will be encouraged to learn.
