Attending summer camp is a rite-of-passage for many children. For children with diabetes, this carries even more significance when they can attend a camp specifically designed to foster disease management in a fun and safe environment. Diabetes camps offer a unique way to help children gain confidence to manage the disease on their own – sometimes for the first time. Jerry Mick, first heard about diabetes camps immediately following his son, Jack’s, diagnosis. After Jack attended camp, Jerry saw firsthand the tremendous impact it had on his son.
