“Camp was life-changing. It was my first time I actually accepted myself with diabetes.” - Naomi, age 17
“Camp is the one place that helps Zyan form healthy diabetes habits to become a healthy adult. Where he learns to take care of himself. Where he builds friendships with other kids in his situation.”- Michelle, parent of Zyan age 7
“Before I went to camp I was really nervous. But I loved it so much more than I ever thought I could. I set an alarm on my phone to go off for next summer's session as soon as I got home!”-Morgan, age 16
