Camp Colorado

About Camp Colorado

The American Diabetes Association’s Camp Colorado is held at beautiful Eagle Lake camp in the heart of Pike National Forest. Only 9 miles outside of Woodland Park, CO and a short distance from Colorado Springs, Camp Colorado is an idyllic summer camp setting. We encourage each camper to learn something new about diabetes management but never force education. At Camp Colorado we believe that each camper will take something away that is specific to that campers stage of development. And with three camp programs one is sure to excite even the pickiest camper!

What is camp all about - Empowered adventure. This is the rally cry of ADA Camp Colorado. We provide one ADA-trained diabetes counselor for every four campers and then add an additional program counselor just to ensure a camptastically good time! Camp Colorado is a safe, non-intimidating place to expand your knowledge of diabetes while making new friends and creating experiences you'll be telling other people about for years to come.

We encourage each camper to learn something new about diabetes management but never force education. At Camp Colorado we believe that you will take something away that is specific to your own stage of development. Meet new friends, have a blast and hopefully learn something special about yourself along the way. This is what Camp Colorado is all about!
