    $525 The Leadership Training Program is open to teenagers ages 17 to 19, with or without diabetes, has an application process. Qualifications we look for in our counselors in training are teens that can demonstrate a level of maturity that enables them to assume responsibility and develop strong leadership skills. The applicant must demonstrate an interest in camping and show the ability to learn and work with diabetic children. Being a healthy role-model for children with diabetes is critical! Young leaders are given an opportunity to learn and explore group dynamics, human development, communications skills, recreational programming, and organization. The objective of this two-year program is to build a strong counseling staff for our program and promote leadership in our communities and at camp.

Younger children spend the majority of the time with their cabin-mates while older campers have a greater amount of choice in their activities, although they are supervised at all times. Campers report that while they enjoy the activities, they particularly value the chance to get to know other kids with diabetes. Watching other campers check their blood sugars, take their insulin, deal with high and low blood sugars and talking with them about how they handle their diabetes in terms of school, athletics, peers and families are some of the most powerful learning opportunities which occur during camp
