At Lions Camp Merrick we believe that each child needs to feel special. One of the greatest experiences in life is the look of joy and pride in a child’s eyes when they accomplish something they thought they never could or would do. LCM’s programs match the needs and abilities of the children we serve so they are given the chance to “be all they can be”. Our dedicated counselors are always on hand to instruct and give caring guidance to our campers, but we find that it is our amazing children themselves who play the largest part in supporting and encouraging each other. LCM is a special place, a unique haven for children in today’s fast-paced world. Here campers laugh, learn, and live together as they enjoy the pleasures of summertime friendship and fun. They build skills and character, and create remarkable friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Children with diabetes are very special to us.They need special care—and at the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center they get it. When summer comes around, there’s the annual Berrie Center Summer Fun Program for 20 children with diabetes between ages 8 and 15. Supervised by Berrie Center staff, teenage patients and summer interns, the group visits landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, and events such as a Yankees game. A highlight is the visit to the Berrie Center labs where children get to see first-hand the kind of research that could one day make a difference in their treatment and their lives. And, as much fun as programs like these are, they also help children learn to better manage their diabetes.

The program invites American Indian youth from tribes across Arizona to a one week intensive residential camp held at Whispering Pines, near Prescott, Arizona. The camp was established in 1991 to assist a growing number of Arizona's Indian youth who are at risk for or who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The program invites American Indian youth from tribes across Arizona to a one week intensive residential camp. At camp, kids learn healthy eating habits and ways to make exercise fun, consistent, and habitual. The best part? All camp activities take place in an American Indian context, deeply rooted in culture. This integration increases our effectiveness, makes health fun, and places its practice within a greater American Indian history.

Camp Seale Harris is living well! Hundreds of youth with diabetes come each year to Camp Seale Harris for a medically-supervised, fun camp experience and family connection to year-round support that helps them fight diabetes every day. Camp isn’t just a place on a map. It’s a shared experience and a feeling of community. Campers try new things, learn new skills, and make life-long friends. They become more independent and confident. Many become leaders and mentors. It’s where they connect and are inspired to live well. Join us in our mission to “educate, encourage, and empower children with diabetes and their families.”

A diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes changes the life of a child forever. Days filled with school, sports, and activities are quickly replaced by blood tests, insulin injections, and carbohydrate calculations. Every step required to manage their diabetes is a step away from what children see as “normal.” But at Camp Sweeney, Type 1 diabetes is normal. And when diabetes disappears, every camper can show what makes them special, not what makes them different.
