    ADA Camp Aspire is an acronym for “Always Sharing Priceless, Inspirational, Rewarding Experiences.” The main goal of the program at ADA Camp Aspire is to allow campers the ability to feel at ease and “accepted” in a community where having diabetes is the rule, not the exception. Ou campers learn to understand diabetes and the process of self-management, under skilled and continuous medical supervision. It is the hope of the staff that these children go home feeling more self-confident, self-reliant and having gained the knowledge they need to live successful, full lives with diabetes. We want kids to leave camp feeling empowered and being able to say, “I went to camp and had fun!” Many of these children come to camp not knowing any other people with diabetes, especially other kids like themselves. There are friendships made which last a lifetime! For more information about ADA Camp Aspire, contact campsupport@diabetes.org
