Camp Hendon Programs
Many organizations are dedicated to finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, but few offer support in the interim. Camp Hendon provides life-altering experiences to children with diabetes, without the promise of a cure, but with the guarantee of an experience that makes diabetes manageable until that cure is found.
Camp Hendon is a community for children with diabetes, and their families, to get to know others who face the same challenges. The number one benefit of Camp Hendon's programs that both children and their parents express is the ability to feel part of a group and feelings of isolation are eliminated.
We offer numerous programs to support youth with diabetes at different ages and stages, as well as parents, other caregivers, and the family as a whole. Learn more about our different programs below.

Family Camp is a weekend retreat-style program for youth with T1D ages 5-12 as well as siblings of any age, parents, and other caregivers. This is a fantastic opportunity for younger children and their families to meet the Camp Hendon team, and connect with other families facing the same challenges.
