Kiki's Kids Camp is a four-day summer camp for children and youth who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Each summer, Floyd Healthcare Foundation offers a traditional day camp designed for youth with diabetes ages 6-12. Activities like hiking, swimming, tennis, volleyball, nature and crafts are provided along with educational sessions to help campers understand more about diabetes and develop independence and self-discipline in their approach to living with diabetes. The funds for this program are provided by a Heritage Circle gift by the late Angelique (Kiki) Petrople, a pediatric nurse in our community who had diabetes. Her estate gift makes possible Kiki's Kids Camp each summer and provides funds to purchase supplies for diabetic children in need.
