Happy, healthy kids
Our mission is to help children, youth and families affected by type 1 diabetes by creating an inclusive, supportive community to help reduce the feeling of isolation by offering recreational, experiential base programs and services.
Tiered Fee
We understand that every family’s budget is different. We have developed a three-tiered pricing program to help cover costs for those who need financial support. Regardless of the amount paid, your child’s experience at camp will not change.
How we care for your child
T1D Kids Camps understands the importance of proper medical care. Our camps are supported by medical professionals right from your local clinics! We check blood sugars and do carb counts before each meal, and take our insulin before meals. All diabetes care is supervised by our medical teams. We have low stations set up around camp, and low packs carried by each cabin group. Medical staff also does overnight blood sugar checks and treatments at 12 and 3. At camp we strive to have the same standard of care campers would receive at home. Parents can rest well, knowing medical professionals are on site at all times.

Sending my daughter to Camp is the only time I can leave her overnight and know that she is completely safe and taken care of. Being a parent to a child with Type 1 Diabetes is a full-time job and being able to trust other people to take on that responsibility for a week provides respite and peace of mind.
