Camp

We are proud to offer a summer camp for children living with diabetes. Camp Ko-Man-She is held annually (typically in July) for children with diabetes. Camp is held at the beautiful YMCA Camp Willson Outdoor Recreation Center, located just outside of Bellefontaine. The staff of Camp Willson is wonderfully accommodating, whether it’s the camp cook modifying meals for our campers’ needs, or the Conference Director helping to work exciting new activities into our camper’s schedule. Children enjoy a variety of camp activities such as swimming, hiking, campfires, wall-climbing, archery, horseback riding, field games and culminating with a dance on the last evening. In addition to making new friends who are living with diabetes like themselves, diabetes education is woven into the fun, helping the children to become more knowledgeable and better skilled about how to manage their diabetes.

Diabetes Dayton has been offering summer camp for children for over fifty years. Our goal is to offer children living with Type 1 diabetes an opportunity to enjoy a fun outdoor experience with other children like themselves in a safe, medically supervised setting. We partner with Dayton Children's Medical Center to bring together an exceptional team of doctors, nurses and registered dieticians who, in addition to our terrific counselors, provide quality care 24-7 for our campers. The emphasis is on making friends, having fun and becoming more confident.
