About Camp Teen Adventure

The overnight camp programs for children and teens, ages 9 - 13 for Triangle D camp and 14 –18 for Teen Camp, combine a program of summer activities with a program of diabetes education and support. Both components challenge each camper to reach their maximum potential, both mentally and physically. The campers are actively involved in managing their diabetes. Goals for campers include improved self-esteem, taking responsibility for diabetes management, and social adjustment in a new setting away from home.

The activities are planned for the interest and skill level of each age group and provide new and different experiences for campers each year.

Physicians, nurses, and dietitians with diabetes expertise provide round the clock medical supervision. Nutrition activities, blood glucose monitoring, and insulin administration are integrated into the camp program.
