I'll just make this short and sweet. Diabetes camps rule!! sure they want you to learn a few things while you are there- but most of it is about just having the best time of your life.

I was completely against going to a diabetes camp when I was younger- I wouldn't even discuss the possibility. Now, looking back, I really wish I had gone. It sounds like fun and I think the support of people who really know about diabetes is essential. Give it a shot!

When I was younger I went to a camp for diabetics in Oregon called Gales Creek Camp. I loved every single minute of it! I wish I could still go to camp. =]

It's always a little nerve racking trying new things but trust me, you will have the time of your life and meet so many great people!

 

Here's the website in case you decide to travel for camp... www.galescreekcamp.org/

I went to GCC too!  I went for four years, but wasn't able to go this summer. I've thought about going back to work there. I still have friends from camp, though.

It's a blast, Gillian! You should definitely try one out.

I went to their winter camp and had a blast :) I bet their summer one is even better though. Plus it's not TOO far from NY

I clear on the other side of the nation in Oregon/Washington.  I went to Gales Creek Camp every year i could.  I am still looking at them for possible work.  Some of my best friends are from that camp.  I highly recommend going.  It was the best experience for me
