You can call your local JDRF chapter www.JDRF.org
Or possibly your Endo or ped.'s office or the school nurse may know other parents of D kids that you could contact.

Contact your local chapter of JDRF, or google the web page, they'll have any local activities going on. They are always looking for volunteers either to work on the walk, reach out to families or participate in support groups.
Also two Barton Center day camps in your area:
