Summer camp is a “best practices seminar in the woods” for kids who live with diabetes. Camp Kudzu's primary goal is to provide education and resources for children who live with T1D to live healthy lives by learning how to manage their diabetes safely. The organization achieves this goal through our signature overnight summer camp programs. Camp Kudzu’s week-long summer camp programs help campers avoid serious health complications (kidney failure, heart disease, and retinopathy) as adults and provide them with necessary psychological support. During the week-long summer sessions, campers enjoy a wide variety of traditional summer camp activities while learning important diabetes management skills. Campers receive encouragement to practice new skills and work towards independence in their diabetes management. Participants ages 8 through 16 are eligible for the overnight summer camp experience.
