DYS Resident Camp is the only camp of its kind in Northwest
Ohio to offer a week-long outdoor adventure for pre-teen and
teenage youth with diabetes.
Parents site a dramatic improvement in attitude,
carb counting and appropriate insulin coverage. Kids also show
an increase in willingness to try new technologies and treatments
like the insulin pump.
Camp helps kids learn to manage their diabetes
independently while being supervised by Certified Diabetes
Educators. They also spend all week with counselors and other
kids who have experienced life with diabetes.
