  • DYS Summer Camps

    CAMPS: DYS SUMMER CAMPS ARE OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAM. THESE CAMPS SERVED YOUTH IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH AGE 22 AND WE SERVED 145 KIDS. THESE CAMPS PROVIDE THE FOUNDATION FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT AND EDUCATION IN ORDER FOR THE YOUTH TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND BECOME SELF-RELIANT. IN ADDITION, IT IS A TIME FOR THE CAMPERS, COUNSELORS, AND STAFF TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER AND CREATE AN ON-GOING SUPPORT NETWORK. EACH CAMP IS STAFFED WITH MEDICAL PERSONNEL AND VOLUNTEERS. MOST OF THE COUNSELORS ARE DYS CAMP ALUMNI AND LIVE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES. THE ALUMNI LOVE TO GIVE BACK TO DYS AND MENTOR THE CAMPERS. WHILE DYS COSTS TO ADMINISTER CAMP ARE EXTENSIVE DUE TO THE LEVEL OF MEDICAL EXPERTISE AND NECESSARY SUPPLIES, WE SUBSIDIZE A LARGE PORTION OF THE CAMPERS' FEES WITH SCHOLARSHIPS.
