Medical professionals are on staff at all times supervising blood sugars, insulin doses, and diets. A Health Lodge is located on site with hospital facilities nearby. Staff consists of Pediatric Endocrinologists, nurses, dietitians and counselors. All counselors are over 18 years of age, most having personal diabetes management experience. All staff undergoes a screening process and receives a minimum of 24 class-time hours of pre-camp training. |

Each year Camp EDI hosts a Get Acquainted Party for first time campers and their families. The Get Acquainted Party allows families to meet the Medical Director, Camp Directors and Counselors. Participants tour camp and have an opportunity to get questions or concerns answered by staff.
The Gloria Hirsch Scholarship is an essay contest for first-time campers. The camper with the winning essay is awarded a scholarship for the total camp fee. The scholarship was established as a tribute to an extraordinary volunteer who raised over 2 million dollars for the ADA. Essay contest deadline is May 15, 2009.
