Summer Day Camp: June 25-29, 2012
Temescal Regional Recreation Area, Oakland, CA
This site includes the option to fish and swim at the lake.
After 74 years of sleep-away camp, the Diabetic Youth Foundation was pleased to offer our first ever Summer Day Camp program for children and families affected by type-1 diabetes. We had a great turnout in July 2011.
In its second year, DYF ’s Summer Day Camp will be the highlight of your child’s summer. If they wish, campers can bring a buddy—a friend or sibling with or without diabetes—to enjoy the summer camp activities with them and to learn about their condition. Camp songs, skits, arts & crafts, nature, and a field trip are all part of the fun for every child. In addition, the days include learning about diabetes and meeting new friends who experience the same challenges from living with diabetes. There is much fun to be had by all!
