About Camp ConfidenceThe day camp programs for children, ages 4 – 9 and their siblings, provide a great beginning camp experience. Since everyone can be deeply affected by the presence of diabetes in the family, a brother or sister of camper age is encouraged to attend. Children at the day camps participate in recreational activities while developing independence and confidence in caring for their diabetes. Diabetes education sessions teach campers about nutrition, exercise, insulin, highs and lows, and blood sugar testing. Children are grouped by age and activities are supervised by trained certified health professionals and counselors. |
