In 2011, the Diabetic Youth Foundation is proud to celebrate 74 years of providing programs and services to children, teens, families and community members affected by type-1 diabetes. Since 1938, DYF has served over 40,000 people with information, knowledge, support, laughter and friendship that we like to refer to as the “Camp Magic”.

At all of our programs we strive to offer the usual fun experience such as swimming, surfing, skiing, arts & crafts, archery, sports and games, hiking, nature education and campfires. Perhaps more importantly, we also strive to ensure that our participants are gaining the skills necessary to manage their diabetes, but also stand them in good stead their entire lives.

Developing team-working, independence, and leadership skills are at the core of all our programs.
