Young adults will create valuable connections and develop a great support system through fun teambuilding, camp activities, and great speakers in an inclusive environment. They will also participate in open group discussions on a wide variety of important T1D topics including driving, transition from high school to college or workforce, alcohol, the importance of mental health and more. Participants will learn valuable life lessons from other T1 peers and educators and be able to have open and honest conversations that may be difficult to have in a home environment.

The program is open to all T1 teens ages 13-17, who are in high school. Participants are also encouraged to a young adult friend or sibling as long as they are ages 13-17 and in high school as well.

Registration is $50/camper and includes meals, snacks, lodging, and program supplies. Space is limited to the first 30 participants. If you have any questions or are in need of additional information, please call our office at 440-739-4095.

Medical Care

We will not be providing dose adjustment for campers. If desired, please contact your Endocrinologist to make those adjustments.
Participants must bring their own diabetes supplies and any other prescribed or over-the-counter medications.
We will have medical staff present and/or on-call for the duration of the program, but the expectation is that management occurs by the participant as this is a part of the learning of the weekend. This means that we are not as medically supported as we are during the summer season.
