 The Campers
The HDYC is a co-educational program, serving approximately 80-90 children with diabetes ages 8-15. There are equal slots available for males and females. Some are first-time campers, many recently diagnosed, but each year over 75% are returning. The high rate-of-return shows the quality of the program.
