Camp Nejeda's summer sleep-away camp sessions include three one-week sessions and two two-week sessions. Sessions are age-specific and offer all the activities you would expect to find at any sleep-away camp, but the Camp Nejeda experience also provides hands-on learning opportunities for campers to learn how to better manage their diabetes, make healthy food choices, and maintain a good attitude about living with diabetes.
Family Camps are a fun mini-vacation for the whole family and are a great introduction to the Camp Nejeda experience for young children and newly diagnosed children. They also provide a peek into camp life for parents and siblings. Camp Nejeda's Family Camp Programs recognize that managing diabetes can be challenging for the entire family. Lots of fun family friendly camp activities are supplemented with opportunities for parents, kids and siblings to meet and talk with other people who share their unique challenges.The Family Camp fee includes housing (one family/cabin) and all food and program expenses for a family of four; additional members $75/pp.
