Hi, I've been seeing a lot of stuff about "diabetes camps"? Can anyone tell me what they are and if there are any relatively cheap ones near Philadelphia? Thanks
Hi Megan. The American Diabetes Association has info on their camps at this link: http://www.diabetes.org/in-my-community/diabetes-camp/camps/?state=PA&dateType=starting_date&startDate=&endDate= Scroll down the page to find the link for financial assistance. You may also be able to find info through your endo's office.
We have an extensive list of camps (ADA and non-ADA camps) on this site at http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/camps/ At this point, it may be too late to register for this year's summer camps. Most do have financial assistance.
I know our local camp will jump thru hoops to get a newly Diagnosed kiddo into a camp, especially if it is the kiddo wanting to go. My daughter finally went last yea at age of 8, and she loved every minute and made sure she wsa signed up ASAP this year.
