The American Diabetes Association’s residential camp program for children with diabetes is held at the Camp Shawnee property which is owned and operated by the Heartland Council of Camp Fire Boys and Girls. Camp offers children with diabetes the opportunity to learn how to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle while managing their diabetes. Camp also teaches campers that they are not alone and gives parents a needed break from the day to day responsibilities of diabetes management. Camp activities feature swimming, horseback riding, hiking, outdoor skills, tennis and volleyball, basketball, archery, and tons of other fun activities, plus a few surprises! Scholarships are available.
