Camp Kandu – a place where kids with diabetes ‘Kandu’ anything! Join the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi in empowering kids and making a difference in their lives! Camp Kandu, held twice a year at the Twin Lakes Conference Center in Florence, Miss., offers children with diabetes, as well as their parents, friends and siblings, the opportunity to have fun while learning to take charge of diabetes. The camp is free for children with diabetes. Through your generosity, the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi is able to send children with diabetes to Camp Kandu as well as offer scholarships to other diabetes camps. Camp participants – parents and children alike – learn about diabetes management, including the importance of healthy meal planning, exercising regularly and monitoring blood glucose levels.
