How Can Camp Help A Child with Diabetes?
Camp Helps me with my diabetes
Gives me confidence in myself
Is new challenges
Is fun
Is meeting new friends just like me
Is activities I didn't know I could do before
Is learning to take care of myself
A week at camp may not seem like much, but the self-management skills taught by a professional staff of doctors, nurses, dietitians, medical students, and youth counselors gives children the opportunity to learn how to be independent and increase their self esteem and confidence in themselves.
Many children don't know anyone in the whole world with diabetes. Many are scared about what's going to happen to them in the future and are afraid to try new things. Camp is an opportunity for these kids to be with other kids just like themselves who are dealing with diabetes. To be in a group where everyone around them understands what they are going through and what to do about it. It gives them the opportunity to share their fears and experiences with other kids.
