Why is Camp Hendon Important?
Over 300,000 people in Kentucky alone are living with diabetes. It impacts many lives, especially children. Many of these children often struggle with feeling like they are alone and that no one understands what they are dealing with. Camp Hendon, a volunteer-run camp founded in 1965, has given children with diabetes in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, a chance to have a fun, safe, and medically supervised camping experience while realizing they are not alone.
The number one benefit both children and their parents express is the ability to feel part of a group, where everyone has diabetes and the feelings of isolation are eliminated and understanding and role-modeling abound. At camp, children with diabetes are surrounded by people just like them – both children and adults who share their day-to-day challenges and triumphs managing diabetes.
