Description

For more than 50 years, the Central Ohio Diabetes Association has offered Camp Hamwi, a unique and exceptional summer camp experience for youths with diabetes. Campers learn to take control of their diabetes management while participating in exciting traditional summer camp activities. Diabetes education topics include nutrition and carbohydrate counting, insulin therapy, and blood glucose monitoring. Camp staff include cabin counselors, social workers, nurses, dietitians, and physicians. Many staffers have diabetes themselves, and former campers can seek training to become part of the Camp Hamwi team. While Camp Hamwi serves youths ages 7-17, children as young as 3 can participate in diabetes day camps. CODA’s summer youth camps allow children and families to connect with a community of support, part of a lifelong path to living well while navigating the challenges of diabetes.
