Camp

This year we are staying two nights and skiing two days in North Carolina. We’ll start out from the Camp Kudzu office at 3:00 pm on Friday, January 20 and will return late in the evening on Sunday, January 22. Campers, staff and volunteers will take a chartered bus to the Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center in Lake Junaluska, NC and will ski nearby (approximately 11 miles away) at the beautiful Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley, NC.  The Teen Ski Weekend is one of the best ways to reunite with teen camp friends, make new friends and enjoy skiing the slopes! Fun activities await you on and OFF the slopes!

Diabetes affects the whole family, and Camp Kudzu Young sister at Goldpanning Family Camps are for the whole family.  No child or infant is too young and no teen is too old.  It is empowering to see families come together to learn more about diabetes and share their common experiences in a supportive setting.  The weekend includes workshops on diabetes and activities for everyone, including walk ins, where you choose what you want to do. Informative speakers and panel discussions give everyone a new perspective.  Carb counts for all menu items, meals and snacks, simplify life.  Family camp is a great introduction for newly diagnosed or young children, or families who need a boost in dealing with diabetes.  Family camp weekends also provide a peak into camp life for parents and siblings.  It starts in the early evening (6:30 pm) on Friday and concludes before lunch on Sunday.

At Camp Kudzu, summer camp is more than just a week of fun adventures. It’s also about improving diabetes skills, living a healthy lifestyle and sampling new menus. The education that happens at Camp Kudzu feels different than it does at school… no tests to study for and no papers due. Camp Kudzu is a world where having diabetes is normal. There is no need to explain blood sugar testing, finger pricks, insulin injections, ketones, “lows”, boluses or “carb” counting, because everyone here understands!  In 2017, Camp Kudzu offers FOUR week-long overnight camps for children and teens living with type 1 diabetes, ages 8-16. Hosted at Camp High Harbour - Lake Allatoona, GA www.campkudzu.org/about-camp/summer-camp

Campers ages 5-8 years old are eligible to attend our five-day day camp program. The program includes an active day of swimming, games, arts and crafts and many more exciting and age-appropriate activities. Hosted in tandem with Session 1 at Camp High Harbour, Sprouts Day Camp is a place where young campers living with diabetes can learn more about their disease, meet other children who have similar healthcare needs and simply have fun. Hosted at Camp High Harbour at Lake Allatoona.
